3.5 Object Detection
TargetPro can automatically measure and display objects that may be present in
a contact image. To TargetPro, anything with a definable shadow is an object.
Measured objects can be displayed but not saved. The automatic aspect of
target measurement and region growing is controlled through the Object
Measurement on Image Load area of the TargetPro Configuration dialog box.
(see ‘Configuring to Display Data’ for these options.) The manual aspect of target
measurement and region growing is controlled through the Object detection on
the toolbar.
When you use the object detection from the toolbar, TargetPro finds objects
and/or main regions of measured objects one object at a time. Regions are
delineated with a box that TargetPro puts around them. Each boxed area is
known as a growing region. A growing region symbolically represents that part of
a measured object having the potentially densest mass, suggesting an area of
interest for the user or operator to explore further.
