Get Image Properties
Use this tool to get properties of the current image such as the size, pixel type, and information about the acquisition time.
Parameters
Basic Parameters
Image:
This parameter defines the input image whose properties are obtained.
Time Format:
This parameter defines in which format the resulting acquisition time is returned. It is set to "ISO-8601" by default. You can change the format at the corresponding connector.

Description |
|---|---|
|
simplified |
The returned acquisition time includes no special characters and can therefore be used for file names, e.g., '20150130_160558_621'. |
|
ISO-8601 |
The returned acquisition time is returned in a format following the ISO-8601 standard, e.g., '2015-01-30T16:05:58,621'. |
Results
Basic Results
Width:
This result returns the width of the current input image in pixels.
Height:
This result returns the height of the current input image in pixels.
Number of Channels:
This result returns the number of channels of the current input image as an integer value.
Pixel Type:
This result returns the pixel type of the current input image. Possible types are "byte", "complex", "cyclic", "direction", "int1", "int2", "int4", "int8", "real", "uint2", "vector_field_absolute", and "vector_field_relative".
Acquisition Time:
This result returns the time when the current image has been created internally by MERLIC. This time doesn't necessarily correlate with the time the image was acquired. It is returned in the format that is specified for the parameter "Time Format".
If the "Time Format" is set to "simplified", it is returned in the following format: '20150130_160558_621'. If the "Time Format" is set to "ISO-8601", it is returned in the following format: "2015-01-30T16:05:58,621".

Millisecond
This result returns the millisecond of the acquisition time as an integer value.
Second:
This result returns the second of the acquisition time as an integer value.
Minute:
This result returns the minute of the acquisition time as an integer value.
Hour:
This result returns the hour of the acquisition time as an integer value.
Day:
This result returns the day of the acquisition time as an integer value.
Day of the Year:
This result returns the day of the year of the acquisition time as an integer value.
Month:
This result returns the month of the acquisition time as an integer value.
Year:
This result returns the year of the acquisition time as an integer value.
Tool State:
"Tool State" returns information about the state of the tool and thus can be used for error handling. For more information, see Tool State Result
Additional Results
Processing Time:
This result returns the duration of the most recent execution of the tool in milliseconds. The result is provided as additional result. Therefore, it is hidden by default but it can be displayed via the 
button beside the tool results. For more information see the section Processing Time in the tool reference overview.
