MATLAB: What is property of an image

imageproperty

When I use regionprops(), it returns the measurement of property of the image. What is the property here? color? something else?

By and large, the properties returned are usually numbers that describe each contiguous region in a binary mask.
It is also used to describe binary mask regions in relation to a grayscale image. i.e. given a circle in binary mask, what is the average intensity in a corresponding grayscale image.
Some "properties" returned are arrays that represent the subregion corresponding to binary mask regions. These arrays are either the raw data, or modifications of the binary mask i.e. ConvexHull.
