Parameter

Description

Separate

Selects whether you want to process the image further after segmentation. Objects that are touching one another can be separated using different methods.

-

None

Objects are not separated.

-

Morphology

Separates objects by first reducing and then enlarging them, making sure that once objects have been separated they do not merge together again.

-

Watersheds

Separates objects that are roughly the same shape. The result is two shapes separated by a thin 1-pixel boundary. The rest of the shape perimeter remains unchanged. This method may however result in the splitting of elongated objects.

Count

Sets the count value, which is similar to a Sigma for Gauss applied to a binary image.
