Non-zero of Image

This function block calculates the total number of non-zero pixels in a given image, providing useful insights into the image content.

📥 Inputs

Image Any The image from which to count the non-zero pixels.

📤 Outputs

Count The total number of non-zero pixels in the image.

🎨 Features

Image Analysis This block allows users to quickly assess pixel data within an image by counting active (non-zero) pixels.

📝 Usage Instructions

1. Connect Image Source: Link an image to the input via the Image Any socket. It can be either a grayscale or color image.

2. Evaluate: Run the block to compute the count of non-zero pixels in the input image.

3. Retrieve Count: Access the Count output to view the total number of non-zero pixels.

📊 Evaluation

When executed, this function block processes the input image, returning the total count of non-zero pixels.

💡 Tips and Tricks

Understanding Non-zero Pixels

Non-zero pixels generally represent parts of the image containing relevant data or features, such as objects in a binary mask.

Image Cleanup

Consider preprocessing your image with Image Threshold to create binary images that effectively isolate the relevant parts of the image, allowing for more meaningful counts.

Using in Combination

Combine this function block with other blocks like Mask Detection or Blob Detector to focus on specific areas of interest within your images and analyze non-zero pixel counts effectively.

🛠️ Troubleshooting

No Count Returned

If no count is returned, ensure that a valid image is connected to the input. Verify that the incoming data stream actually carries image data.

Confusing Results

In cases where the count seems too high or too low, consider the context of your image data. Use the Histogram On Line or Histogram On Curve blocks to visualize pixel distributions for better analysis.
