LBitmap::ObjectCounter

Summary

Gets the number of black objects in a binary image.

Syntax

#include "ltwrappr.h"

virtual L_INT LBitmap::ObjectCounter(uCount, uFlags = 0)

Parameters

L_UINT * uCount

Pointer to a variable to be updated with the number of black objects.

Returns

Value	Meaning
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 class object's bitmap must be inverted by calling LBitmap::Invert 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 counts black binary objects in a binary image with a white background
The objects can be of any size or shape
The callback member function is used to show the length of each removed rake
The callback member function does NOT receive a Windows region.
