Description
Fill holes
Remove single pixel holes in blob.
Calculate angles
Calculate angles of blobs. The blob angle is the angle between the
x-axis and an axis around which it would be easiest to rotate the
blob.
Calculate bounds
Calculate bounding box position, width, and length.
Show blob markers
View a marker for each found blob in the image area.
Erode
Trim outer edge of blobs to separate discrete blobs when height
map data overlaps.
Accuracy
Set trade-off between speed and accuracy, setting a high speed
will downscale the image used for processing.
Masks
Mask a part of the image to exclude it from the search.

Setting
Description
Height range
Set upper and lower bounds of the region of interest on the X-axis.
Min. edge threshold
Only include edges of greater height than the minimum threshold.
Raise the value to remove noise.
