Segmentaon & Count
OTSU Dark... - OTSU is a method to determine the threshold of an adapve based on the gradaon charac-
terisc of an image, then divide the image into the background and the targets of interest. The larger the
dierence between the background and the target, the large a dierence is displayed between the two, while
the smaller dierences will be less displayed. Specically, the dark method means the segment from the dark
objects from the bright objects are determined using an OTSU algorithm, and is best used with a dark target
object with a bright background. This method is best when you need accuracy, as it minimizes possibility for
misclassicaon and missegmentaon.
Approximaon - Assigns whether the segments will be esmated as circles, ellipses, or none (the actual shape
and size of the segment).
With Holes - This ck box enables the segmentaon method to create holes within a segment for areas that do
not t the segment.
Outline Style - Assigns whether the segments will be colored in, outlined, or none (simply numbered).
Outline Color - Assigns which color the segments or outlines will be colored in.
Label Method - Assigns how the segments will be labeled. XOR contrasts the numbers against the background,
true allows a color to be selected for all, and false eliminates numbering the secons enrely.
Label Color - When true is selected as the “Label Method,” will allow selecon of the color to use for the num-
bering.
Label Type - When true is selected as the “Label Method,” allows selecon between displaying counted seg-
ments, the area of each segment, or the perimeter of each segment.
