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.

In this step you can post-process the segmented objects interactively. You can modify the results of the automated segmentation when you analyze your image data. 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. If you enter the interactive analysis or are in Job Mode, the image will be fully segmented.

+

Click on areas in the image you want to add to the selected object class.

-

Click on areas in the image you want to remove from the selected object class.

Intensity

Sets the tolerance value for the intensity. The tolerance value specifies how much the intensity of a pixel may deviate from the average intensity of the selected object in order to still "grow" to become part of the object. A higher value means that more pixel values similar to the selected one are included. A lower value means that only the exact pixel value selected is included.

Color

Only active if your input image is a color image.
Sets the tolerance value for the color. The tolerance value specifies how much the color value of a pixel may deviate from the average color value of the selected object in order to still "grow" to become part of the object. A higher value means that more colors similar to the selected one are displayed. A lower value means that only the exact color selected is displayed. The comparison is based on the RGB (red green blue) colorspace.
