Look For (Bright Objects) indicates the type of objects for which you want to look. The following values are valid:

Bright Objects (0)

Looks for objects in the image represented by pixels with values greater than the value computed by the threshold method.

Dark Objects (1)

Looks for objects in the image represented by pixels with values less than the value computed by the threshold method.

ROI Descriptor is a descriptor that defines the Region of Interest (ROI) within which the threshold is performed.

c1di32.gif

Global Rectangle contains the coordinates of the bounding rectangle.

c1dcclst.gif

Contours are each of the individual shapes that define an ROI.

cenum.gif

ID refers to whether the contour is the external or internal edge of an ROI.

cu32.gif

Type is the shape type of the contour.

c1di32.gif

Coordinates indicates the relative position of the contour.

Image Src is a reference to the source image.

cgenclasstagrefflat.gif

Image Dst is a reference to the destination image.

Method (clustering) specifies the threshold method to use. Choose from the following options:

Note  Refer to the NI Vision Concepts Manual for more information about these methods.
clustering (0)

Use the clustering method as a general-purpose threshold method.

entropy (1)

Use the entropy method to detect particles that are present in minuscule proportions on the image.

metric (2)

The metric method calculates an optimal threshold value using the surfaces representing the initial gray scale.

moments (3)

Use the moments method for images that have poor contrast.

inter-class variance (4)

The interclass variance method determines an optimal threshold by maximizing the between-class variation with respect to the threshold.

error in (no error) describes the error status before this VI or function runs. The default is no error. If an error occurred before this VI or function runs, the VI or function passes the error in value to error out. This VI or function runs normally only if no error occurred before this VI or function runs. If an error occurs while this VI or function runs, it runs normally and sets its own error status in error out. Use the Simple Error Handler or General Error Handler VIs to display the description of the error code. Use error in and error out to check errors and to specify execution order by wiring error out from one node to error in of the next node.

cbool.gif

status is TRUE (X) if an error occurred before this VI or function ran or FALSE (checkmark) to indicate a warning or that no error occurred before this VI or function ran. The default is FALSE.

ci32.gif

code is the error or warning code. If status is TRUE, code is a nonzero error code. If status is FALSE, code is 0 or a warning code.

cstr.gif

source describes the origin of the error or warning and is, in most cases, the name of the VI or function that produced the error or warning. The default is an empty string.

csgl.gif

Replace Value (1) specifies the replacement value the VI uses for the pixels of the kept objects in the destination image.

cnclst.gif

Threshold Limits specifies the upper and lower bounds of the threshold values used to calculate the threshold.

csgl.gif

Lower value specifies the lower bound of the threshold range.

csgl.gif

Upper value specifies the upper bound of the threshold range.

Image Dst Out is a reference to the destination image. If Image Dst is connected, Image Dst Out is the same as Image Dst. Otherwise, Image Dst Out refers to the image referenced by Image Src.

inclst.gif

Threshold Range Out specifies the range used to threshold the image or ROI.

isgl.gif

Lower value is the lowest pixel value to be taken into account during a threshold.

isgl.gif

Upper value is the highest pixel value to be taken into account during a threshold.

ierrcodeclst.gif

error out contains error information. If error in indicates that an error occurred before this VI or function ran, error out contains the same error information. Otherwise, it describes the error status that this VI or function produces. Right-click the error out indicator on the front panel and select Explain Error from the shortcut menu for more information about the error.

ibool.gif

status is TRUE (X) if an error occurred or FALSE (checkmark) to indicate a warning or that no error occurred.

ii32.gif

code is the error or warning code. If status is TRUE, code is a nonzero error code. If status is FALSE, code is 0 or a warning code.

istr.gif

source describes the origin of the error or warning and is, in most cases, the name of the VI or function that produced the error or warning. The default is an empty string.
