Description

Vision Find Contours

The Vision Find Contours block segments connected contours in a binary image and labels it in the output image.

In order to use this block, be sure to follow the instructions described on the Vision Capture Image page, and take careful note of the limitations.

Input Ports

src_image

A handle to a single-channel 8-bit source image that uses OpenCV (Open Source Computer Vision) IplImage structure.

Output Ports

dst_image

A binary (8-bit) destination image that marks the connected contours.

contour

A handle to segmented contour information that uses OpenCV (Open Source Computer Vision) CvMemStorage and CvSeq structure.

contour_no

Specifies the number of contours found in the input image.

err

An error signal which is negative in case of invalid memory allocation or usage of invalid parameter values.

Parameters and Dialog Box

Vision Find Contours

Area threshold

Specifies the minimum contour area (in pixels) for contour labeling in the output image. Contours having higher area than the threshold are ignored for contour labeling.

Draw type

Specifies the type of contour labeling in the output image. The labeling options are Contour only and Fill contour. The options are described as follows:

Sample time

The sample time of the block. A sample time of 0 indicates that the block will be treated as a continuous time block. A positive sample time indicates that the block is a discrete time block with the given sample time. A sample time of -1 indicates that the block inherits its sample time.
