Detailed Description

Properties

◆ ConvexProjections

long ConvexProjections
getset

Defines the number of convex projections.

Projections are applied to the object from the sides defined by this number (see #BlobConvexPerimeter). 
The more projections, the more precise the approximation to the perimeter. 
The four basic projections (0 degree, 45 degrees, 90 degrees, 135 degree) are the default values. 

\a ConvexProjections specifies the number of projections and #ConvexPointsRetrieved returns the number of points 
on the perimeter. For example the number or projections is 4 returns 12 points on the convex perimeter shape.
Parameters
[in,out]ConvexProjectionsNumber of convex projections.
Returns
Number of convex projections.
Supported platforms:
Win32

#BlobConvexPointIndex Property, #BlobConvexPointX Property and #BlobConvexPointY Property to get the coordinates of the convex shape
#ConvexPointsRetrieved Property

◆ Entire

Returns
Defines if the entire image will be used to search Blobs or not.
