In example, if I set the alarm % to 5-10% and the filtered and blob to 1-100%, what happens?
- and have a min filtered area that you’re below then it quits
- and have a max filtered area that you’re above then it quits
- any blob smaller than the min blob area (if set) is discarded
- any blob larger than the max blob area (if set) is discarded
- If there are less remaining blobs than the minimum-blobs, then it quits.
- If there are more remaining blobs than the maximum-blobs, then it quits.
If AlarmedPixels is selected, you can only enter min/max pixel threshold and min/max alarmed area. If FilteredPixels is selected, the Blob options are disabled. The Blob check method allows you to specify all options. Filtered adds more checks than alarmed, and blobs adds more checks than filtered. The final ‘score’ is calculated using final check method.
