In This Topic

Returns the number of words within the segmentation result specified by its index.

Syntax

C#
Delphi
JScript
Managed Extensions for C++
C++/CLI

'Declaration
 
Public Function GetWordCount( _
   ByVal SegmentationResultID As String _
) As Integer

public int GetWordCount( 
   string SegmentationResultID
)

public function GetWordCount( 
    SegmentationResultID: String
): Integer;

public function GetWordCount( 
   SegmentationResultID : String
) : int;

public: int GetWordCount( 
   string* SegmentationResultID
)

public:
int GetWordCount( 
   String^ SegmentationResultID
)

Parameters

SegmentationResultID: The unique result identifier of the executed segmentation process obtained by the GdPictureSegmenter.RunSegmentation method.

Return Value

The number of detected words. Please always use the GdPictureSegmenter.GetStat method to determine if this method has been successful.

Remarks

It is recommend to use the GdPictureSegmenter.GetStat method to identify the specific reason for the method's failure, if any.

Example

How to find out the number of detected words within the segmentation result.

VB.NET
C#
