The Blob Tool performs connectivity analysis on an image, finding groups
of connected pixels with gray levels above or below a threshold. Each
group is called a blob. The Blob Tool records all the detected blobs into a
blob tree. For each blob, the tool calculates many geometric features
including the length, width, area, etc. In addition, the number of blobs and
number of parts in the region of interest (ROI) are calculated. A part is a
blob that has the opposite color of the background. A hole is a blob with
the same color as the background.
This example counts the number of pips on a die.
