        {
            "Mode": "RPM_GENERAL_GRAY_CONTRAST",

Parameter Summary

Mode Arguments

Parameter RegionPredetectionModes consist of a group of region predetection mode objects. Each region predetection mode object includes a candidate mode and a series of mode arguments. The mode arguments of the region predetection mode object is shown as follow:

Range
A string value representing height range sets.
Valid For

RPM_GENERAL_HSV_CONTRAST
Remarks
Parameters Left, Top, Right, Bottom are measured in percentage.
Parameter Index points to a specific colour that set in ForeAndBackgroundColours. Set it to -1 to apply the current RelativeRegion to all ForeAndBackgroundColours.
