Examples
Copy
// create blob counter and process image
BlobCounter bc = new BlobCounter(sourceImage);

// specify sort order
bc.ObjectsOrder = ObjectsOrder.Size;

// get objects' information (blobs without image)
Blob[] blobs = bc.GetObjectInformation();

// process blobs
foreach (Blob blob in blobs)
{
    // check blob's properties
    if (blob.Rectangle.Width > 50)
    {
        // the blob looks interesting, let's extract it
        bc.ExtractBlobsImage(sourceImage, blob);
    }
}
