MorphologicalComponents

Updated In 8 Graphic
MorphologicalComponents[image]
gives an array in which each pixel of image is replaced by an integer index representing the connected foreground image component in which the pixel lies.
MorphologicalComponents
treats values above t as foreground.
MORE INFORMATION
  • The option setting CornerNeighbors->False treats only the four pixels in the coordinate directions as adjacent.
"Connected"labels connected components (default)
"Nested"labels nested connected components
"Convex"labels objects within non-overlapping convex regions
"ConvexHull"finds non-overlapping convex hulls
"BoundingBox"finds non-overlapping bounding boxes
"BoundingDisk"finds non-overlapping bounding disks
