Module: | FoundationBasic |
---|
Creates a region containing image pixels with values within the specified range.
Applications
Name | Type | Range | Description | |
---|---|---|---|---|
inImage | Image | Input image | ||
inRoi | Region* | Region of interest | ||
inMinValue | Real* | Minimum value of a pixel that is considered foreground (Auto = -INF) | ||
inMaxValue | Real* | Maximum value of a pixel that is considered foreground (Auto = +INF) | ||
inHysteresis | Real | 0.0 - | Defines how much the threshold criteria are lowered for pixels neighboring with other foreground pixels | |
outRegion | Region | Output region |
Description
The operation is a cousin of ThresholdImage yet computes a region instead of an image. The resulting region contains those pixels of the input image that meet one of the following conditions:
- Pixel value is in range [inMinValue, inMaxValue].
- Pixel value is in range [inMinValue-inHysteresis, inMinValue) or in range (inMaxValue, inMaxValue+inHysteresis] and in the processed image there is a path of consecutive pixels of value in range [inMinValue-inHysteresis, inMaxValue+inHysteresis] that connects the pixel being considered and any pixel with value in range [inMinValue, inMaxValue].
If any of the parameters inMinValue, inMaxValue is not set, it is assumed to be, accordingly, -infinity or infinity.
In the multichannel images the operation uses an average of channel values in each pixel.
Hints
- Define inMinValue to extract bright objects (brighter than the specified value).
- Define inMaxValue to extract dark objects (darker than the specified value).
- Use inHysteresis to allow weaker threshold for pixels neighboring with already extracted ones.
Examples
Hardware Acceleration
This operation is optimized for SSE2 technology for pixels of types: 1xUINT8, 3xUINT8, 1xINT16, 1xUINT16.
