Remarks

The filter performs filtering of blobs by their size in the specified source image - all blobs, which are smaller or bigger then specified limits, are removed from the image.

Note Note
The image processing filter treats all none black pixels as objects' pixels and all black pixel as background.

The filter accepts 8 bpp grayscale images and 24/32 color images for processing.

Sample usage:

// create filter
BlobsFiltering filter = new BlobsFiltering( );
// configure filter
filter.CoupledSizeFiltering = true;
filter.MinWidth  = 70;
filter.MinHeight = 70;
// apply the filter
filter.ApplyInPlace( image );
