CloseColor

Interactive command to this function: Image > Morphology > Close

Description 

 CloseColor(
   int  Count,
   int  MatrixType,
   int  OnIntensity,
   int  NDDimension
);

The CloseColor function performs morphological closing on current color image. An interactive equivalent is the _CloseColor function.

Parameters

int Count

Number of iterations.

int MatrixType

Type of the structuring element used for the processing with the center in the enhanced pixel.

6

int OnIntensity

Selects whether to perform the processing on the intensity component or on color channels (one by one).

0, FALSE	use channels
1, TRUE	use the intensity component

int NDDimension

Frame selection of the ND document.

0	Current frame
1	Time dimension
2	Multipoint dimension
4	Z dimension
15	All frames (the whole ND document).
16	Selection - the frames/dimensions selected by mouse within the ND control bar will be affected.

Note

Value combination is also possible (e.g.: M+T=3, Z+T=5, M+Z=6).

Note

Morphological closing is a dilation followed by an erosion of the same amount. The transformation is performed on the intensity component except for multichannel images where it is performed on every selected component. Small dark areas are removed by this transformation. Hue and saturation are not affected. If a structuring element dimension is an even value, there are two enhanced pixels in structuring element depicting centers: one for erosion and the other for dilation.

Description 

 CloseColorGa3(
   int  iCount,
   int  iMatrix,
   int  NDDimension

DetectPeaks

Interactive command to this function: Image > Detect > Detect Peaks

Description 

 DetectPeaks(
   int  Count,
   int  MatrixType,
   int  ConvertToGray,
   int  AutoContrast,
   int  OnIntensity,
   int  NDDimension
);

The DetectPeaks function enhances small light objects. The function is performed on intensity component of a color image except for multichannel images. For multichannel images, it is performed on every selected component. An interactive equivalent is the _DetectPeaks function.

Parameters

int Count

Number of iterations.

int MatrixType

Type of the structuring element used for the processing with the center in the enhanced pixel.

6

int ConvertToGray

The output image can be converted and displayed in a gray scale.

int AutoContrast

Usage of some kernels may result in pixel values which it is impossible to display within the image (negative values, high values). Such values would be clipped to fit the acceptable range (0-255 for 8bit images), and you could loose certain amount of image information because such pixels would turn black/white. However, you can prevent this image distortion by using this option. It maps all the computed values to the acceptable range so it can be displayed correctly.

0, FALSE	Do not apply auto contrast
1, TRUE	Apply auto contrast

int OnIntensity

Selects whether to perform the processing on the intensity component or on color channels (one by one).

0, FALSE	use channels
1, TRUE	use the intensity component

int NDDimension

Frame selection of the ND document.

0	Current frame
1	Time dimension
2	Multipoint dimension
4	Z dimension
15	All frames (the whole ND document).
16	Selection - the frames/dimensions selected by mouse within the ND control bar will be affected.

Note

Value combination is also possible (e.g.: M+T=3, Z+T=5, M+Z=6).

Note

The Detect Peaks command enhances small light objects by “Top Hat” morphologic transformation. The size of objects selected is determined by the size of the used structuring element, which depends both on MatrixType and Count parameters. This function enables the specific segmentation of small objects to the exclusion of larger objects and also can help you in the case of non-homogeneous background. If Count < 0, auto contrast on the result image is performed. If MatrixType < 0, then result image is converted to gray one.

Note

The Detect Valleys command enhances small dark objects by “Top Hat” morphologic transformation. The size of the objects selected is determined by level of the transformation, which depends on MatrixType and Count of steps. This command enables the specific segmentation of small objects to the exclusion of larger objects and also can help you in the case of non-homogeneous background. If Count < 0, auto contrast on the result image is performed. If MatrixType < 0, then result image is converted to gray one.
