Background Suppression

Background Suppression

Specifying a brightness range to use for measurement eliminates the section outside that range as
background.
In addition, the extracted range is converted into values of 0 to 255, so the contrast can be emphasized.

Used in the Following Case

●

By extracting a specific brightness range, the contrast on the image can be improved,

unnecessary background eliminated, etc.

Basic concept of background suppression

Because input values from 0 to [Lower] are converted to level 0 and values from [Upper] to 255 are
converted to level 255, the background in this range is eliminated.
Together with this, only [Lower] to [Upper] from the input values 0 to 255are taken and those are
converted to output values of 0 to 255, so the contrast within this range is emphasized.

Filter Setting (Background Suppression)

This item sets the filter.
