MeasurementToImage

Replaces all labels of the input image by the result of an individual measurement.

Access to parameter description

For an introduction, see:
This algorithm replaces all labels of an input image by the result of an individual measurement. It supports the same individual measurements as any analysis algorithm (LabelAnalysis).
The data type of the output image depends on the selected measurement. It can be 32-bit floating point or integer.
For example, this algorithm can assign the surface value of a given object to all pixels that belong to it.

Class Syntax

Parameters

Class Name MeasurementToImage

Parameter Name Description Type Supported Values Default Value
input
inputLabelImage
The input label image. Image Label nullptr
input
inputGrayImage
The input grayscale image that contains the intensity information. It must have the same dimensions as the label input image. It is only used with measurements requiring an intensity image, and is ignored with other measurements. If it equals null, the label input image will be used as the intensity input image. Image Binary, Label or Grayscale nullptr
input
measurement
The measurement defining the output values. Measurement ""
output
outputImage
The output image. Its dimensions are forced to the same values as the input. Its data type is forced to 32-bit floating point or integer, depending on the selected measurement. Image nullptr
