intensity calibration Assigns user-defined quantities such as optical densities or concentrations
to the gray-level values in an image.
intensity profile The gray-level distribution of the pixels along an ROI in an image.
intensity range Defines the range of gray-level values in an object of an image.
intensity threshold Characterizes an object based on the range of gray-level values in the
object. If the intensity range of the object falls within the user-specified
range, it is considered an object. Otherwise it is considered part of the
background.
J
jitter The maximum amount of time that the execution of an algorithm varies
from one execution to the next.
JPEG Joint Photographic Experts Group. An image file format for storing 8-bit
and color images with lossy compression. JPEG images have the file
extension JPG.
K
kernel A structure that represents a pixel and its relationship to its neighbors.
The relationship is specified by weighted coefficients of each neighbor.
L
labeling A morphology operation that identifies each object in a binary image and
assigns a unique pixel value to all the pixels in an object. This process is
useful for identifying the number of objects in the image and giving each
object a unique pixel intensity.
LabVIEW Laboratory Virtual Instrument Engineering Workbench. A program
development environment application based on the programming
language G used commonly for test and measurement applications.
