Is there a way to add object count from the data collector to a report?

DavidW

I am using the data collector to aggregate measurements from multiple images to count enough objects for my statistics. I then want to create a report that includes an entry with the total number of counted object. I can get the data collector easily enough, but I'm not sure how to get a total count.

You could use the count summary, which is available for all these tables.

Thanks, that's the ticket.

I've been trying to add this value to a table so the report looks a little more elegant, but if I copy the summary field it copies the values, rather than the link to the data collector data. Is there any way to get a table with just the summary values without the rather inelegant "Region:Measurement:Diameter Max-Average:" prefix?

The next Image-Pro Premier release will introduce an easier way to include measurements statistics in Data Collector and in reports for single images.

In the more general case, in order to have full control over the layout of your data, and statistics specifically, you have the option of adding your own data to the report using "code behind" which consists of small macros that are used to drive the report.

Your modified sample report is attached with an implementation of this approach which produces the table you were looking for.

The code needed for this (included in the report, see code view)  is as follows:

Imports System.Data

Public Class arieh

    ' Statistics table
    Private _dataSet As DataSet
    Private _dtStatistics As DataTable

    Private Sub ThisReport_RefreshSchema(ByVal source As Object, ByVal args As MediaCy.Addins.Reporter.ReportEventArgs) Handles ThisReport.RefreshSchema
        ' Add new table for Data Collector statistics
        _dataSet = New DataSet
        _dtStatistics = _dataSet.Tables.add("Statistics")
        _dtStatistics.Columns.Add("Measure")
        _dtStatistics.Columns.Add("Value",GetType(Double))
        args.Report.DataSources.Add("Data Statistics",_dtStatistics,_dataSet)
    End Sub

    Private Sub ThisReport_RefreshData(ByVal source As Object, ByVal args As MediaCy.Addins.Reporter.ReportEventArgs) Handles ThisReport.RefreshData
        ' Fill new data table
        If _dtStatistics.Rows.Count=0 Then
            If args.Report.DataSources.Item("Data Collector") IsNot Nothing Then
                Dim dsDataCollector As DataSet = args.Report.DataSources.Item("Data Collector").DataRoot
                If dsDataCollector.Tables.Contains("Measurements") Then
                    Dim dtMeasurements As DataTable = dsDataCollector.Tables.Item("Measurements")
                    _dtStatistics.Rows.Add("Diameter Max (Average)", dtMeasurements.Compute("Avg(mRgnMaxDiameter)",""))
                    _dtStatistics.Rows.Add("Diameter Mean (Average)", dtMeasurements.Compute("Avg(mRgnMeanDiameter)",""))
                    _dtStatistics.Rows.Add("Diameter Min (Average)", dtMeasurements.Compute("Avg(mRgnMinDiameter)",""))
                    _dtStatistics.Rows.Add("Roundness (Average)", dtMeasurements.Compute("Avg(mRgnRoundness)",""))
                    _dtStatistics.Rows.Add("Roundness (Max)", dtMeasurements.Compute("Max(mRgnRoundness)",""))
                    _dtStatistics.Rows.Add("Object Count)", dtMeasurements.Rows.Count)
                End If
            End If
        End If
    End Sub
