L_LTIMGCOR_API L_INT EXT_FUNCTION L_ObjectCounter(pBitmap, uCount, pCallback, pUserData, uFlags)

pBITMAPHANDLE pBitmap;	/* pointer to bitmap */
L_UINT * uCount;	/* variable to be updated with the objects count */
OBJECTCOUNTERCALLBACK pCallback;	/* optional callback function */
L_VOID * pUserData;	/* pointer to more parameters of the callback */
L_UINT32 uFlags;	/* flags */

Gets the number of black objects in a binary image.

Parameter	Description
pBitmap	Pointer to the bitmap handle referencing the binary image.
uCount	Pointer to a variable to be updated with the number of black objects.
pCallback	Optional callback function for additional processing.
	If you do not provide a callback function, use NULL as the value of this parameter.
	If you do provide a callback function, use the function pointer as the value of this parameter.
	The callback function must adhere to the function prototype described in OBJECTCOUNTERCALLBACK function.
pUserData	Void pointer that you can use to pass one or more additional parameters that the callback function needs.
	To use this feature, assign a value to a variable or create a structure that contains as many fields as you need. Then, in this parameter, pass the address of the variable or structure, casting it to L_VOID *.
	The callback function, which receives the address in its own pUserData parameter, can cast it to a pointer of the appropriate data type to access your variable or structure.
	If the additional parameters are not needed, you can pass NULL in this parameter.
uFlags	Reserved for future use. Must be 0.

Returns

SUCCESS	The function was successful.
< 1	An error occurred. Refer to Return Codes.

Comments

If white objects are on a black image, the colors in the specified bitmap must be inverted by calling L_InvertBitmap function.

This function only works on 1-bit images.

This function does not support 32-bit grayscale images. It returns the error code ERROR_GRAY32_UNSUPPORTED if a 32-bit grayscale image is passed to this function.

Example

This example loads a bitmap and counts the objects in it and prints the parameters of the rectangle\ surrounding the region

L_INT EXT_CALLBACK ObjectCounterExampleCB(L_RECT rect, L_INT **pObject, L_VOID *pUserData)
{
   UNREFERENCED_PARAMETER(pUserData);
   UNREFERENCED_PARAMETER(pObject);
 
   L_TCHAR szMsg[200];
  
   wsprintf(
      szMsg, 
      TEXT("Region Bounds: left=%d, right=%d, top=%d, bottom=%d \n count=%d"),
      rect.left, rect.right, rect.top, rect.bottom);
   
MessageBox(NULL, szMsg, TEXT(""), MB_OK);

return SUCCESS;
}
