Difference in Job Mode

The available functionality of the individual steps can differ between the wizard in Free Mode and the steps that can be added in Job Mode, e.g. the Interactive checkbox is not visible in Job Mode.

Settings based on image view

Note that during the setup of the analysis (via Setup Image Analysis in Free Mode), the segmentation is only performed on the area visible in the viewport. Therefore, if you adapt the region filter by clicking on the objects displayed in the viewport, and select objects that are cut by the current viewport, these objects will only be segmented partially. The region filter will only be adapted based on the part of the object that is in the viewport. In case you want to select objects that exceed the viewport, we suggest to adapt the region filter values manually.

If you enter the interactive analysis or are in Job Mode, the image will be fully segmented during the segmentation step, and therefore it is possible to adapt the region filters by clicking on the objects in the image.

In this step you can define the region filter conditions under which you want an object to be measured.

Parameter		Description
Execute		Activated: Uses the region filters when the analysis is run.
Interactive		Activated: The region filters can be changed while the analysis setting is run.
Class List		Selects the class for which you want to define the filter.
Select Features		Opens the Region Filter Editor to select region filters.
Copy to All		Copies the defined region filters to all classes.
Region Filter Blocks		If you have defined one or more blocks with region filters in the Region Filter Editor, you can select the block for which you want to set the filter. Select the relevant block and set the maximum/minimum values either by clicking on the objects in the image you want to include in the measurement, or by entering the maximum/minimum values separately.
–	Feature	Displays the name of the respective filter feature.
–	Minimum	Specifies the lower threshold of the filter. If an object's property is above this value, the object is measured. If you do not want to use this threshold, deactivate the checkbox. The threshold is set to the minimum possible value (typically 0).
–	Maximum	Defines the upper threshold of the filter. If an object's property is below this value, the object is measured. If you do not want to use this threshold, deactivate the checkbox. The threshold is set to the maximum possible value.
Undo		Undoes the last change made to the filter.
Redo		Restores the last undone change to the filter.
Reset		Resets all settings for the filter.

Region Filter Editor Dialog

All features in the list of selected features are calculated during image analysis. The results are displayed in the results table for all detected objects of the same class. The columns of the features are sorted according to the order they appear in the Selected Features list. You can create complex rules by joining blocks using Or conditions. The results of the settings you set here are displayed in the result table of the last step of the wizard.

For a detailed description of the individual features, see Measurement Features.

Parameter		Description
Selected Features		Displays the features that you have selected block by block. All features in a block are And-linked, i.e. an object is only measured if the values of each individual feature fall within the defined range.
Add Block		Adds an Or block. If several Or blocks are defined, an object is measured if it meets the condition in at least one block.
Clear Block		Deletes all features in an Or block.
Delete Block		Deletes the selected Or block.
Delete All		Deletes all Or blocks.
Available Features		Displays the list with all available features. Double-click on the feature or click + to add the feature to the list of selected features on the left.
Search Field		Searches for features by name.
Filter Dropdown		Filters the list of displayed features.
-	All	Lists all available features.
-	Geometric Features	Lists only the subset of geometric features.
-	Intensity Features	Lists only the subset of intensity features.
-	Position Features	Lists only the subset of position features.
-	Geometric Features Unscaled	Lists only the subset of unscaled geometric features.
-	Position Features Unscaled	Lists only the subset of unscaled position features.
+ Add		Adds the selected feature to the list of selected features on the left.
OK		Saves the changes and closes the dialog.
