# Using the Blob Tool

The basic steps to using blob analysis to solve a vision problem are

1. Obtain images of the scene to be analyzed.
2. Determine the segmentation method and threshold values.
3. Select an image mask (optional).
4. Select morphological operators and pruning and filling parameters (optional).
5. Perform the blob analysis using the parameters selected in steps 1 through 4.
6. Interpret the results of the blob analysis.
