Scale Invariance? (Yes) specifies whether to use size or scale invariance when matching objects in the source image to the template object.

Tolerance indicates the maximum allowed deviation between the template shape and similar shapes in the image. Valid values are between 0 and 1.

Image Src is a reference to the source image.

Image Template is a reference to the 8-bit binary template for which you want to search.

Image Dst is a reference to an binary image that contains the objects from the Image Src that match the object in the Image Template.

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.

	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.
	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.
	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.

Connectivity 4/8 (8) specifies the type of connectivity used by the algorithm for particle detection. The connectivity mode directly determines whether an adjacent pixel belongs to the same particle or a different particle. The default is 8. The following values are possible:

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.

Number of Matches is the number of template matches found in the inspection image based on the input settings.

Shape Report is an array of clusters in which each cluster contains the following information on the matched objects:

	Global Rectangle contains the bounding rectangle of the object. x1Left indicates the x-coordinate of the top-left corner of the rectangle. y1Top indicates the y-coordinate of the top-left corner of the rectangle. x2Right indicates the x-coordinate of the bottom-right corner of the rectangle. y2Bottom indicates the y-coordinate of the bottom-right corner of the rectangle.
	Centroid is a point-coordinate cluster containing the location of the centroid of the object.
	Object Size is the size in pixels of the object.
	Score (between 1 and 1000) specifies how similar the object in the image is to the template. A score of 1000 implies a perfect match.

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.

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