GetConnectedComponent

Get the mask image (and optionally the outer contour) of a connected component from a label image based on the label ID.
Can use available TwinCAT Job Tasks for executing parallel code regions.

Syntax

Definition:

HRESULT GetConnectedComponent(
    HRESULT          hrPrev,
    ITcVnImage*      ipLabelImage,
    LONG             nLabelID,
    ITcVnImage*&     ipMaskImage,
    ITcVnContainer** pipContourPoints = nullptr
)

Parameters

Name

Type

Default

Description

hrPrev

HRESULT

 

HRESULT indicating the result of previous operations (If SUCCEEDED(hrPrev) equals false, no operation is executed.)

ipLabelImage

ITcVnImage*

 

Image containing labels for each pixel (1 channel DINT or UINT).

nLabelID

LONG

 

Value of the requested label

ipMaskImage

ITcVnImage*&

 

Returns a mask image marking the pixels that belong to the component (1 channel USINT. Mask is optional, set to 0 if not required.)

pipContourPoints

ITcVnContainer**

nullptr

Returns the outer contour of the component(ContainerType_Vector_TcVnPoint2_DINT. Contour is optional, set to 0 if not required.)
