Synopsis

Get results for a feature of the included blobs, from a blob result buffer.

Syntax

void MblobGetResult(

MIL_ID BlobResId,	//in
MIL_INT64 Feature,	//in
void *TargetArrayPtr	//out

)

Description

This function retrieves the results for a specified feature for all included blobs, from the blob analysis result buffer.

If your target image was associated with a calibration context, positional and dimensional results are, by default, returned with respect to the relative coordinate system of the image. Otherwise, these results are returned in pixels, relative to the top-left pixel in the target image.

If your target image was associated with a calibration context but you want to retrieve positional and dimensional results in pixel units, use MblobControl() with the M_RESULT_OUTPUT_UNITS control type set to M_PIXEL. However, note that if you set M_RESULT_OUTPUT_UNITS to M_WORLD without specifying a calibrated image in which to calculate the results, MblobGetResult() will generate an error.

When calculated in pixel units, the pixel aspect ratio, specified with MblobControl(), is taken into account horizontally. Results are returned in units of "pixel height" since the pixel width is adjusted to be equal to the pixel height.

Note that trying to retrieve a result which is not available generates an error.

Note that this function reference has not been updated for a MIL system added during a MIL update. Refer to the MIL system's release note to see if there is complementary information.

Parameters

This function is not supported on the selected boards.

Parameters

BlobResId

Specifies the identifier of the blob analysis result buffer from which to get results. The specified feature(s) must have already been calculated with MblobCalculate().

Feature

Specifies the feature for which to retrieve the results.

See the Parameter associations section for possible values that can be specified.

TargetArrayPtr

Accepts the address of one of the following (see the Parameter associations section for specifics on which is expected):

array of type char
array of type MIL_DOUBLE
array of type MIL_FLOAT
array of type MIL_INT
array of type MIL_INT16
array of type MIL_INT32
array of type MIL_INT64
MIL_DOUBLE

Specifies the address of the array in which to write results. Each blob creates a separate result entry. Only results for blobs that are currently included are obtained.

See the Parameter associations section for possible values that can be returned.

The tables below list possible values for the Feature parameter and possible values returned to the TargetArrayPtr parameter.

For retrieving results for a binary feature

Unless otherwise specified, the following values require that you pass the TargetArrayPtr parameter the address of an array of type MIL_DOUBLE with a size equal to the number of currently included blobs. This number can be obtained, using MblobGetNumber() (When retrieving the result from the currently included blobs.) .
