This method generates an image with the skeleton of the influence zone of regions. The background in the Input image is analyzed, and the skeleton of the influence zones of the objects is determined. This is then saved as a binary image in the Output image.

Parameter

Description

Count

Specifies the number of times the functionality is applied.

Each time the functionality is applied more white pixels are added around white structures. The invisible pixels around the image borders are assumed to be white so that a white rectangular frame grows into the image.

If two white regions would merge into a single structure, a single-pixel black border is maintained between the two regions.

Converge

Activated: The functionality is applied until the image does not change anymore. As a result, the structures are extended to their maximum possible size, limited by single-pixel lines.

AxioVision Compatibility

The algorithm was re-implemented, the results differ from the results produced using AxioVision.

Activated: A former version of the algorithm is used to get the same results as produced by AxioVision.
