imaqDetectCircles
Usage
CircleMatch* imaqDetectCircles(const Image* image, const CircleDescriptor* circleDescriptor, const CurveOptions* curveOptions, const ShapeDetectionOptions* shapeDetectionOptions, const ROI* roi, int* numMatchesReturned);
Purpose
Searches for circles in an image.
Image Types Supported
IMAQ_IMAGE_U8
Parameters

Name
|
Type

Description
|
|---|---|---|
| image | const Image* | The image on which to detect circles. |
| circleDescriptor | const CircleDescriptor* | A structure that describes the circles to search for in the image. This parameter is required and cannot be NULL. |
| curveOptions | const CurveOptions* | Describes how the function identifies the curves in the image. This function does not support identifying curves with subpixel accuracy and therefore ignores the subpixelAccuracy element of this parameter. |
| shapeDetectionOptions | const ShapeDetectionOptions* | The options to use when detecting circles. |
| roi | const ROI* | The region of interest applied to the image that specifies where circles can be detected. Set this parameter to NULL to search the entire image. |
| numMatchesReturned | int* | On return, the number of circles that the function matched. Set this parameter to NULL if you do not wish to return information about the number of matched circles. |
Return Value
| Type |
Description |
|---|---|
| CircleMatch* | On success, this function returns an array of information about each match found. On failure, the value is NULL. To get extended error information, call imaqGetLastError(). When you are finished with the return value, dispose of the pointer by calling imaqDispose(). |
