Count

Specifies the number of spheres to search for.

Format

Number

The number of spheres to search in this search step.

Note

For spheres our implementation currently supports to search for multiple spheres in a single run, which is much faster than searching for multiple spheres in separate runs (i.e. separate search parameter sets). The algorithm just keeps the Count best distinct hypotheses. Two spheres are considered to be distinct if none contains the other sphere’s center point. If you experience problems with close or intersecting spheres you should consider searching for multiple spheres by adding Count separate search parameter sets.
