imaqLabel
Usage
int imaqLabel(Image* dest, Image* source, int connectivity8, int* particleCount);
Purpose
Labels the particles in a binary image by applying a unique value to all pixels within a particle. This value is encoded in 8 or 16 bits, depending on the image type. The function can label 255 particles in an 8-bit image and 65,535 particles in a 16-bit image.

Description
|
|---|---|---|
| dest | Image* | The destination image. |
| source | Image* | The source image. The labeling process modifies the border of the source image. The border must be at least one pixel wide if you use connectivity-4 or two pixels wide if you use connectivity-8. |
| connectivity8 | int | Set this parameter to TRUE to use connectivity-8 to determine whether particles are touching. Set this parameter to FALSE to use connectivity-4 to determine whether particles are touching. For more information about connectivity, see Chapter 9, Binary Morphology, in the NI Vision Concepts Manual. |
| particleCount | int* | On return, the number of particles that the function found. Set this parameter to NULL if you do not need this information. |
Return Value

Description |
|---|---|
| int | On success, this function returns a non-zero value. On failure, this function returns 0. To get extended error information, call imaqGetLastError(). |
Parameter Discussion
source—This function modifies the source image. If you need the original image, create a copy of the image using imaqDuplicate() before using this function.
