Blobs Counting Tool - Settings Tab

Defines the mode for determining the grayscale value that is used to separate blobs from the background. When Auto is selected (default = Auto), each time an image is acquired, the tool adjusts for changes in brightness from image to image. When Manual is selected, you manually enter and adjust the value.

Defines the grayscale value that is used to separate blobs from the background (0 - 255, when enabled). This control is Off by default, and requires that the Threshold Mode be set to Manual to be enabled. Use the Graph to set an optimal value for your application.

Defines the color of the blob (Black, White, or Either; default = Either).

• Either = There is no blob color requirement.
• Black = Only returns blobs that are below the Blob Threshold.
• White = Only returns blobs that are above the Blob Threshold.

Defines one of two ways of managing blobs that intersect the blob's region boundary (default = Off, unchecked):

• Unchecked – Does not include blobs that intersect the region boundary; i.e. the blob must be located entirely within the region to be detected.
• Checked – Includes blobs that intersect the region boundary; i.e. blobs that intersect, as long as they match the other criteria, are detected.

Defines a minimum area restriction, in number of pixels (0 to 900000; default = 100), for all detected blobs; only blobs whose area is greater than the Minimum Area will be recognized.

Defines a maximum area restriction, in number of pixels (0 to 900000; default = 100000), for all detected blobs; only blobs whose area is less than the Maximum Area will be recognized.
