• It works by encoding an image into a coded image. The encoder ^{.NET Python} classifies the image into several layers with image segmenters and builds the blobs from the selected layers.

• It can compute various features for each objects (for example its area, bounding box, etc.).

• These features can be used to select, filter, or sort the blobs with EObjectSelection ^{.NET Python}.

• The object template matcher ^{.NET Python} can be used to align and match the blobs to a reference image.

• There are two kinds of blobs:

  • objects that are built directly by the encoder from the segmentation of the image

  • holes that are built from the objects.

  • Both types of blobs have the same class, named ECodedElement ^{.NET Python}.

Objects and holes.
