btrack.utils.segmentation_to_objects fails if you are trying to measure an intensity_image from a single segment

[nthndy]

I have some images where the associated segmentation may only feature one single segment/object in a frame. I need to extract the intensity_image as a part of the properties parameter of segmentation_to_objects so that I can do some extra measurements before removing this property from all the objects prior to tracking. However, when iterating over all my frames I noticed that segmentation_to_objects fails on the frames where there is just a single mask/segment. Here's the full error message:

ValueError: all the input arrays must have same number of dimensions, but the array at index 0 has 4 dimension(s) and the array at index 1 has 1 dimension(s)

I think it might be important to note that this is specific to the intensity_image parameter and that if I remove that property it can still manage the non-scalar mean_intensity parameter.
