Emphasizing gradients - Activate Sobel-filter to work on a differentiated image

Morphology - Erode (remove) or dilate (add) the found blob area

• Example: e2d2 - erodes two pixel before dilating 2 pixels

Area Search

• Minimum threshold - minimum accepted intensity value
• Maximum threshold - maximum accepted intensity value

- will activate a tool parameter browser.

Note: Minimum and maximum threshold can be linked to a result in another tool - Very often a percentile value from the Intensity Tool

• Smooth factor - smoothes the contour - used to correct the result contour length and to measure circularity

Rotation of child reference

• Rotate child reference system - tools connected to this tool will reflect the angle of the major blob

Sort Results by

• Contour Area - default sort results by Countour Area

  • Ascending
     

• Strictly by X position

• Strictly by Y position

• Grid X then Y position

• Grid Y then X position

  • Ascending X

  • Ascending Y

  • Distance Treshold for grid - used to cluster positions into row and columns

Hole filter

• Ingore holes smaller than

• Ignore holes larger than
