Description
The Stripe Collection tool measures the distance between
two
edges and creates a set of points. There will always be an even
number of points because each point has a corresponding point, and the
distance is measured between them.
The tool can be made to find gradient edges or threshold edgess
Using the Stripe Collection Tool
Once
the tool is on the sequence it is important to place the ROI in the
right orientation. The tool always searches for edges that are
perpendicular to the rotation bar.

The width is measured left to right. |
The width is measured top to bottom. |
Most of the setup for this tool is on its "Stripe Parameters" page.
Smoothing
The amount of averaging
in determining the edge. Units are pixels.
If this is set to 0 then absolute an threshold is used
Leniency
This
is a measure of edge steepness. The bigger the number the more likely the edge finder will
detect more gradual edges. Units are pixels.
Min Contrast
The minimum difference in intensity
for an edge to be regarded as an edge. This is a measure of grey level
differences. Note that typically for a grey level image 0 is black and
255 is white. The 255 is the the maximum contrast.
If using an absolute then this is the threshold
Which Edge
The Edge of interest. The 1st through 6th edge can be selected
If using an absolute then set this to 1
Edge Polarity
The polarity of the edge being sorted, either dark to light or light to dark.
If using an absolute then set this to "don't care"
GetFailedLocations
Get the locations of failed points
FailedLocations
Point array (the first n are the partial edges found)
TotalFailedCount
return of total number of points failed
NbPartialFinds
return of number of points where their was a partil find - still a failure
these poitns are stored first in the return points collection
