Image Processing Absolute Clipping Mode The absolute clipping mode takes the absolute value of the result and clips it using the same algorithm as for Normal Clipping mode. Filtering Kernel Size Filtering Kernel Size sets the size of the kernel applied by a fixed (predefined) filtering oper- ation. Filtering Scale Filtering Scale sets the scaling factor applied by a filtering operation. After the operation has been applied, the value of each pixel is multiplied by the Filtering Scale value. Histogram Properties This is used to set the parameters for a histogram operation. Histogram operations can only be applied to an unsigned 8-bit image.

Histogram Threshold Histogram Threshold sets threshold value applied by a histogram thresholding operation Logical Properties This is used to set the constant operand for a logical operation. Logical Constant Logical Constant defines constant that applied as an operand by a logical operation. This con- stant is applied only when no valid Operand Image is specified. Morphological Properties This is used to set the parameters for a morphological operation. Morphological operations are used to eliminate or fill small and thin holes in objects, break objects at thin points or connect nearby objects.

These operations generally smooth the boundaries of objects without significantly changing their area. Morphological Neighborhood Size Morphological Neighborhood Size neighborhood is the neighborhood by a morphological oper- ation. This value is currently fixed at 3x3. No other values are allowed.
