Description

Converts objects encoded in a labelled image stack back into objects. Each output object is comprised of all pixels in a single timepoint with the same pixel intensity. As such, pixels need not be in direct contact to be assigned the same object.

Note: This is different behaviour to the "Identify objects" module, which takes a binary image, identifies contiguous foreground regions and assigns new object IDs.

Parameters

Input image (default = "") Labelled image to convert to objects. The background (non-object region) of this image should be black (0 intensity) and all pixels corresponding to the same object should have the same value. Objects can only exist in a single timepoint, so pixels of the same intensity but in different timepoints will be assigned to different objects.

Output objects (default = "") Output objects created by the conversion process. These will be stored in the workspace and be accessible via this name.

Volume type (default = "Pointlist") The method used to store pixel coordinates. This only affects performance and memory usage, there is no difference in results obtained using difference storage methods.

Create parent objects (default = "false")

Output parent objects name (default = "")
