AVL.SplitRegionIntoBlobs(AvlNet.Region, AvlNet.RegionConnectivity, int, int?, bool, AvlNet.Region[])
Splits a region into an array of regions corresponding to its connected components.
| Namespace: | AvlNet |
|---|---|
| Assembly: | AVL.NET.dll |
Syntax
public static void SplitRegionIntoBlobs( AvlNet.Region inRegion, AvlNet.RegionConnectivity inConnectivity, int inMinBlobArea, int? inMaxBlobArea, bool inRemoveBoundaryBlobs, out AvlNet.Region[] outBlobs )
Parameters
- inRegion
- Type: AvlNet.Region
Input region - inConnectivity
- Type: AvlNet.RegionConnectivity
Type of connectivity used for the region foreground - inMinBlobArea
- Type: System.Int32
Minimal area of a resulting blob - inMaxBlobArea
- Type: System.Nullable<System.Int32>
Maximal area of a resulting blob, or null. - inRemoveBoundaryBlobs
- Type: System.Boolean
Flag indicating whether the blobs on border of the input region should be removed or not - outBlobs
- Type: AvlNet.Region
Description
The operation computes an array of connected regions corresponding to the connected components of the input region pixels. Each region in the resulting array will have dimensions equal to those of the input region.
Resulting array will contain only regions which have area in range defined by inputs: inMinBlobArea and inMaxBlobArea.

Remarks
When inRemoveBoundaryBlobs is set to True all filters near the region boundary will be removed. The region boundary is described by region frame.
