Image Src is a reference to the source image.

Image Dst is a reference to the destination image. If Image Dst is connected, it must be the same size as the Image Src.

Note  If Image Dst is an 8-bit image, the VI can store up to 255 unique labels not including the watershed line value of 0. If Image Dst is a 16-bit image, the VI can store up to 32,767 unique labels not including the watershed line value of 0.

Connectivity 4/8 (8) specifies how the watershed transform algorithm determines whether an adjacent pixel belongs to the same, or different, catchment basin or watershed line. The default is 8. The following values are possible:

8 (TRUE) Particle detection is performed in connectivity mode 8
4 (FALSE) Particle detection is performed in connectivity mode 4

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.

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.

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 Zones indicates the number of zones detected in the image. A zone is a region of the image in which all of the pixels belong to the same catchment basin.

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.
