Get results from a bead result buffer.

Syntax

void MbeadGetResult(
AIL_ID ResultBeadId, //in
AIL_INT LabelOrIndex, //in
AIL_INT ResultIndex, //in
AIL_INT64 ResultType, //in
void * UserVarPtr //out
)

Description

This function retrieves results of the specified type from a bead result buffer. Results are only available after calling MbeadVerify.

Results for the specified bead template or trained point are based on how they compare with their corresponding measured bead or measured point in the verification's target image. The returned results are ordered by the label value of their template.

If your target image was associated with a camera calibration context, positional and dimensional results are returned with respect to the relative coordinate system of the target image. Otherwise, these results are returned in pixels, relative to the top-left pixel in the target image.

Parameters

Specifies the label or index of the template for which to get results, or specifies that you are getting general results related to all templates. This parameter must be set to one of the following values:
