entire image or individual regions in the image: mean intensity, standard
deviation, minimum intensity, maximum intensity, area, and the percentage
of the image that you analyzed. You can specify regions in the image with
a labeled image mask. A labeled image mask is a binary image that has
been processed so that each region in the image mask has a unique intensity
value. Use

Most image processing and analysis methods apply to 8-bit and 16-bit
images. However, you can analyze and process individual components of a
color image.
Using
CWIMAQVision.ExtractColorPlanes
a color image into various sets of primary components, such as
RGB (Red, Green, and Blue), HSI (Hue, Saturation, and Intensity),
HSL (Hue, Saturation, and Luminance), or HSV (Hue, Saturation, and
Value). Each component becomes an 8-bit or 16-bit image that you can
process like any other grayscale image. Use
CWIMAQVision.ExtractSingleColorPlane
plane from an image. Use
reassemble a color image from a set of three 8-bit or 16-bit images, where
each image becomes one of the three primary components. Figures 3-3
and 3-4 illustrate how a color image breaks down into its three components.
