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.
 
Stripe Collection
Stripe Collection
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
