The operator create_aniso_shape_model_xldcreate_aniso_shape_model_xldCreateAnisoShapeModelXldcreate_aniso_shape_model_xldCreateAnisoShapeModelXldCreateAnisoShapeModelXld creates an anisotropically
scaled shape model used for matching from the XLD contours passed in
ContoursContoursContoursContoursContourscontours. The XLD contours represent the grayvalue edges of the
object to be searched for. In contrast to the operator
create_aniso_shape_modelcreate_aniso_shape_modelCreateAnisoShapeModelcreate_aniso_shape_modelCreateAnisoShapeModelCreateAnisoShapeModel, which creates a shape model from a
template image, the operator create_aniso_shape_model_xldcreate_aniso_shape_model_xldCreateAnisoShapeModelXldcreate_aniso_shape_model_xldCreateAnisoShapeModelXldCreateAnisoShapeModelXld creates
the shape model from XLD contours, i.e., without the use of a template
image.
The model is generated for multiple image pyramid levels and is
stored in memory. If a complete pregeneration of the model is
selected (see below), the model is generated at multiple rotations
and anisotropic scales (i.e., independent scales in the row and
column direction) on each level. The output parameter
ModelIDModelIDModelIDModelIDModelIDmodelID is a handle for this model, which is used in
subsequent calls to find_aniso_shape_modelfind_aniso_shape_modelFindAnisoShapeModelfind_aniso_shape_modelFindAnisoShapeModelFindAnisoShapeModel.
The number of pyramid levels is determined with the parameter
NumLevelsNumLevelsNumLevelsNumLevelsNumLevelsnumLevels. It should be chosen as large as possible
because by this the time necessary to find the object is
significantly reduced. On the other hand, NumLevelsNumLevelsNumLevelsNumLevelsNumLevelsnumLevels must
be chosen such that the model is still recognizable and contains a
sufficient number of points (at least four) on the highest pyramid
level. If not enough model points are
generated, the number of pyramid levels is reduced internally until
enough model points are found on the highest pyramid level. If this
procedure would lead to a model with no pyramid levels, i.e., if the
number of model points is already too small on the lowest pyramid
level, create_aniso_shape_model_xldcreate_aniso_shape_model_xldCreateAnisoShapeModelXldcreate_aniso_shape_model_xldCreateAnisoShapeModelXldCreateAnisoShapeModelXld returns with an error
message. If NumLevelsNumLevelsNumLevelsNumLevelsNumLevelsnumLevels is set to 'auto'"auto""auto""auto""auto""auto",
create_aniso_shape_model_xldcreate_aniso_shape_model_xldCreateAnisoShapeModelXldcreate_aniso_shape_model_xldCreateAnisoShapeModelXldCreateAnisoShapeModelXld determines the number of pyramid
levels automatically. The computed number of pyramid
levels can be queried using get_shape_model_paramsget_shape_model_paramsGetShapeModelParamsget_shape_model_paramsGetShapeModelParamsGetShapeModelParams. In rare
cases, it might happen that create_aniso_shape_model_xldcreate_aniso_shape_model_xldCreateAnisoShapeModelXldcreate_aniso_shape_model_xldCreateAnisoShapeModelXldCreateAnisoShapeModelXld
determines a value for the number of pyramid levels that is too
large or too small. If the number of pyramid levels is chosen too
large, the model may not be recognized in the image or it may be
necessary to select very low parameters for MinScore or Greediness
in find_aniso_shape_modelfind_aniso_shape_modelFindAnisoShapeModelfind_aniso_shape_modelFindAnisoShapeModelFindAnisoShapeModel in order to find the model. If
the number of pyramid levels is chosen too small, the time required
to find the model in find_aniso_shape_modelfind_aniso_shape_modelFindAnisoShapeModelfind_aniso_shape_modelFindAnisoShapeModelFindAnisoShapeModel may increase.
In these cases, the number of pyramid levels should be selected manually.
The parameters AngleStartAngleStartAngleStartAngleStartAngleStartangleStart and AngleExtentAngleExtentAngleExtentAngleExtentAngleExtentangleExtent
determine the range of possible rotations, in which the object can
occur in the image. Note that the object can only be found in this
range of angles by find_aniso_shape_modelfind_aniso_shape_modelFindAnisoShapeModelfind_aniso_shape_modelFindAnisoShapeModelFindAnisoShapeModel. The parameter
AngleStepAngleStepAngleStepAngleStepAngleStepangleStep determines the step length within the selected
range of angles. Hence, if subpixel accuracy is not specified in
find_aniso_shape_modelfind_aniso_shape_modelFindAnisoShapeModelfind_aniso_shape_modelFindAnisoShapeModelFindAnisoShapeModel, this parameter specifies the
accuracy that is achievable for the angles in
find_aniso_shape_modelfind_aniso_shape_modelFindAnisoShapeModelfind_aniso_shape_modelFindAnisoShapeModelFindAnisoShapeModel. AngleStepAngleStepAngleStepAngleStepAngleStepangleStep should be chosen
based on the size of the object. Smaller models do not have many
different discrete rotations in the image, and hence
AngleStepAngleStepAngleStepAngleStepAngleStepangleStep should be chosen larger for smaller models. If
AngleExtentAngleExtentAngleExtentAngleExtentAngleExtentangleExtent is not an integer multiple of
AngleStepAngleStepAngleStepAngleStepAngleStepangleStep, AngleStepAngleStepAngleStepAngleStepAngleStepangleStep is modified accordingly.
To ensure a sampling of the range of possible rotations that is
independent of the given AngleStartAngleStartAngleStartAngleStartAngleStartangleStart, the range of possible
rotations is modified as follows: If there is no positive integer
value n such that AngleStartAngleStartAngleStartAngleStartAngleStartangleStart plus n times
AngleStepAngleStepAngleStepAngleStepAngleStepangleStep is exactly 0.0, AngleStartAngleStartAngleStartAngleStartAngleStartangleStart is decreased
by up to AngleStepAngleStepAngleStepAngleStepAngleStepangleStep and AngleExtentAngleExtentAngleExtentAngleExtentAngleExtentangleExtent is increased by
AngleStepAngleStepAngleStepAngleStepAngleStepangleStep.
The parameters ScaleRMinScaleRMinScaleRMinScaleRMinScaleRMinscaleRMin, ScaleRMaxScaleRMaxScaleRMaxScaleRMaxScaleRMaxscaleRMax,
ScaleCMinScaleCMinScaleCMinScaleCMinScaleCMinscaleCMin, and ScaleCMaxScaleCMaxScaleCMaxScaleCMaxScaleCMaxscaleCMax determine the range of
possible anisotropic scales of the object in the row and column
direction. A scale of 1 in both scale factors corresponds to the
original size of the model. The parameters ScaleRStepScaleRStepScaleRStepScaleRStepScaleRStepscaleRStep and
ScaleCStepScaleCStepScaleCStepScaleCStepScaleCStepscaleCStep determine the step length within the selected
range of scales. Hence, if subpixel accuracy is not specified in
find_aniso_shape_modelfind_aniso_shape_modelFindAnisoShapeModelfind_aniso_shape_modelFindAnisoShapeModelFindAnisoShapeModel, these parameters specify the
accuracy that is achievable for the scales in
find_aniso_shape_modelfind_aniso_shape_modelFindAnisoShapeModelfind_aniso_shape_modelFindAnisoShapeModelFindAnisoShapeModel. Like AngleStepAngleStepAngleStepAngleStepAngleStepangleStep,
ScaleRStepScaleRStepScaleRStepScaleRStepScaleRStepscaleRStep and ScaleCStepScaleCStepScaleCStepScaleCStepScaleCStepscaleCStep should be chosen based
on the size of the object. If the respective range of scales is not
an integer multiple of ScaleRStepScaleRStepScaleRStepScaleRStepScaleRStepscaleRStep and ScaleCStepScaleCStepScaleCStepScaleCStepScaleCStepscaleCStep,
ScaleRStepScaleRStepScaleRStepScaleRStepScaleRStepscaleRStep and ScaleCStepScaleCStepScaleCStepScaleCStepScaleCStepscaleCStep are modified
accordingly.
To ensure a sampling of the range of possible scales that is
independent of the given ScaleRMinScaleRMinScaleRMinScaleRMinScaleRMinscaleRMin and ScaleCMinScaleCMinScaleCMinScaleCMinScaleCMinscaleCMin,
the range of possible scales is modified as follows: If there are no
positive integer values n and m such that ScaleRMinScaleRMinScaleRMinScaleRMinScaleRMinscaleRMin plus n
times ScaleRStepScaleRStepScaleRStepScaleRStepScaleRStepscaleRStep is exactly 0.0 and ScaleCMinScaleCMinScaleCMinScaleCMinScaleCMinscaleCMin plus
m times ScaleCStepScaleCStepScaleCStepScaleCStepScaleCStepscaleCStep is exactly 0.0, ScaleRMinScaleRMinScaleRMinScaleRMinScaleRMinscaleRMin and
ScaleCMinScaleCMinScaleCMinScaleCMinScaleCMinscaleCMin are decreased by up to ScaleRStepScaleRStepScaleRStepScaleRStepScaleRStepscaleRStep and
ScaleCStepScaleCStepScaleCStepScaleCStepScaleCStepscaleCStep, respectively, and ScaleRMaxScaleRMaxScaleRMaxScaleRMaxScaleRMaxscaleRMax and
ScaleCMaxScaleCMaxScaleCMaxScaleCMaxScaleCMaxscaleCMax are increased such that the range of possible
scales is increased by ScaleRStepScaleRStepScaleRStepScaleRStepScaleRStepscaleRStep and ScaleCStepScaleCStepScaleCStepScaleCStepScaleCStepscaleCStep,
respectively.
Note that the transformations are treated internally such that the
scalings are applied first, followed by the rotation. Therefore,
the model should usually be aligned such that it appears
horizontally or vertically in the model image.
If a complete pregeneration of the model is selected (see below),
the model is pre-generated for the selected angle and scale range
and stored in memory. The memory required to store the model is
proportional to the number of angle steps, the number of scale
steps, and the number of points in the model. Hence, if
AngleStepAngleStepAngleStepAngleStepAngleStepangleStep, ScaleRStepScaleRStepScaleRStepScaleRStepScaleRStepscaleRStep, or ScaleCStepScaleCStepScaleCStepScaleCStepScaleCStepscaleCStep are
too small or AngleExtentAngleExtentAngleExtentAngleExtentAngleExtentangleExtent or the range of scales are too
big, it may happen that the model no longer fits into the (virtual)
memory. In this case, AngleStepAngleStepAngleStepAngleStepAngleStepangleStep, ScaleRStepScaleRStepScaleRStepScaleRStepScaleRStepscaleRStep, or
ScaleCStepScaleCStepScaleCStepScaleCStepScaleCStepscaleCStep must be enlarged or AngleExtentAngleExtentAngleExtentAngleExtentAngleExtentangleExtent or the
range of scales must be reduced. In any case, it is desirable that
the model completely fits into the main memory, because this avoids
paging by the operating system, and hence the time to find the
object will be much smaller. Since angles can be determined with
subpixel resolution by find_aniso_shape_modelfind_aniso_shape_modelFindAnisoShapeModelfind_aniso_shape_modelFindAnisoShapeModelFindAnisoShapeModel,
AngleStepAngleStepAngleStepAngleStepAngleStepangleStep >= 1° and
ScaleRStepScaleRStepScaleRStepScaleRStepScaleRStepscaleRStep, ScaleCStepScaleCStepScaleCStepScaleCStepScaleCStepscaleCStep >= 0.02 can be
selected for models of a diameter smaller than about 200 pixels. If
AngleStepAngleStepAngleStepAngleStepAngleStepangleStep =
'auto'"auto""auto""auto""auto""auto" or ScaleRStepScaleRStepScaleRStepScaleRStepScaleRStepscaleRStep, ScaleCStepScaleCStepScaleCStepScaleCStepScaleCStepscaleCStep =
'auto'"auto""auto""auto""auto""auto"
is selected, create_aniso_shape_model_xldcreate_aniso_shape_model_xldCreateAnisoShapeModelXldcreate_aniso_shape_model_xldCreateAnisoShapeModelXldCreateAnisoShapeModelXld automatically
determines a suitable angle or scale step length, respectively,
based on the size of the model. The automatically computed angle
and scale step lengths can be queried using
get_shape_model_paramsget_shape_model_paramsGetShapeModelParamsget_shape_model_paramsGetShapeModelParamsGetShapeModelParams.
If a complete pregeneration of the model is not selected, the model
is only created in a reference pose on each pyramid level. In this
case, the model must be transformed to the different angles and
scales at runtime in find_aniso_shape_modelfind_aniso_shape_modelFindAnisoShapeModelfind_aniso_shape_modelFindAnisoShapeModelFindAnisoShapeModel. Because of
this, the recognition of the model might require slightly more time.
For particularly large models, it may be useful to reduce the number
of model points by setting OptimizationOptimizationOptimizationOptimizationOptimizationoptimization to a value
different from 'none'"none""none""none""none""none". If OptimizationOptimizationOptimizationOptimizationOptimizationoptimization =
'none'"none""none""none""none""none", all model points are stored. In all other cases,
the number of points is reduced according to the value of
OptimizationOptimizationOptimizationOptimizationOptimizationoptimization. If the number of points is reduced, it may
be necessary in find_aniso_shape_modelfind_aniso_shape_modelFindAnisoShapeModelfind_aniso_shape_modelFindAnisoShapeModelFindAnisoShapeModel to set the parameter
Greediness to a smaller value, e.g., 0.7 or 0.8. For small
models, the reduction of the number of model points does not result
in a speed-up of the search because in this case usually
significantly more potential instances of the model must be
examined. If OptimizationOptimizationOptimizationOptimizationOptimizationoptimization is set to 'auto'"auto""auto""auto""auto""auto",
create_aniso_shape_model_xldcreate_aniso_shape_model_xldCreateAnisoShapeModelXldcreate_aniso_shape_model_xldCreateAnisoShapeModelXldCreateAnisoShapeModelXld automatically determines the
reduction of the number of model points.
Optionally, a second value can be passed in OptimizationOptimizationOptimizationOptimizationOptimizationoptimization.
This value determines whether the model is pregenerated completely
or not. To do so, the second value of OptimizationOptimizationOptimizationOptimizationOptimizationoptimization must be
set to either 'pregeneration'"pregeneration""pregeneration""pregeneration""pregeneration""pregeneration" or
'no_pregeneration'"no_pregeneration""no_pregeneration""no_pregeneration""no_pregeneration""no_pregeneration". If the second value is not used (i.e.,
if only one value is passed), the mode that is set with
set_system('pregenerate_shape_models',...)set_system("pregenerate_shape_models",...)SetSystem("pregenerate_shape_models",...)set_system("pregenerate_shape_models",...)SetSystem("pregenerate_shape_models",...)SetSystem("pregenerate_shape_models",...) is used. With
the default value ('pregenerate_shape_models'"pregenerate_shape_models""pregenerate_shape_models""pregenerate_shape_models""pregenerate_shape_models""pregenerate_shape_models" =
'false'"false""false""false""false""false"), the model is not pregenerated completely. The
complete pregeneration of the model normally leads to slightly lower
runtimes because the model does not need to be transformed at
runtime. However, in this case, the memory requirements and the
time required to create the model are significantly higher. It
should also be noted that it cannot be expected that the two modes
return exactly identical results because transforming the model at
runtime necessarily leads to different internal data for the
transformed models than pregenerating the transformed models. For
example, if the model is not pregenerated completely,
find_aniso_shape_modelfind_aniso_shape_modelFindAnisoShapeModelfind_aniso_shape_modelFindAnisoShapeModelFindAnisoShapeModel typically returns slightly lower
scores, which may require setting a slightly lower value for
MinScore than for a completely pregenerated model. Furthermore, the
poses obtained by interpolation may differ slightly in the two
modes. If maximum accuracy is desired, the pose of the model should
be determined by least-squares adjustment.
With MinContrastMinContrastMinContrastMinContrastMinContrastminContrast, it can be determined which contrast the
object edges must at least have in the recognition performed by
find_aniso_shape_modelfind_aniso_shape_modelFindAnisoShapeModelfind_aniso_shape_modelFindAnisoShapeModelFindAnisoShapeModel. In other words, this parameter
separates the object from the noise in the image. Therefore, a good
choice is the range of gray value changes caused by the noise in the
image. If, for example, the gray values fluctuate within a range of
10 gray levels, MinContrastMinContrastMinContrastMinContrastMinContrastminContrast should be set to 10. If
multichannel images are used for the model and the search images,
and if the parameter MetricMetricMetricMetricMetricmetric is set to
'ignore_color_polarity'"ignore_color_polarity""ignore_color_polarity""ignore_color_polarity""ignore_color_polarity""ignore_color_polarity" (see below) the noise in one
channel must be multiplied by the square root of the number of
channels to determine MinContrastMinContrastMinContrastMinContrastMinContrastminContrast. If, for example, the
gray values fluctuate within a range of 10 gray levels in a single
channel and the image is a three-channel image MinContrastMinContrastMinContrastMinContrastMinContrastminContrast
should be set to 17. If the model should be recognized
in very low contrast images, MinContrastMinContrastMinContrastMinContrastMinContrastminContrast must be set to a
correspondingly small value. If the model should be recognized even
if it is severely occluded, MinContrastMinContrastMinContrastMinContrastMinContrastminContrast should be slightly
larger than the range of gray value fluctuations created by noise in
order to ensure that the position and rotation of the model are
extracted robustly and accurately by
find_aniso_shape_modelfind_aniso_shape_modelFindAnisoShapeModelfind_aniso_shape_modelFindAnisoShapeModelFindAnisoShapeModel.
The parameter MetricMetricMetricMetricMetricmetric determines the conditions under which
the model is recognized in the image. If MetricMetricMetricMetricMetricmetric =
'use_polarity'"use_polarity""use_polarity""use_polarity""use_polarity""use_polarity", the object in the image and the model must
have the same contrast. If, for example, the model is a bright
object on a dark background, the object is found only if it is also
brighter than the background. If MetricMetricMetricMetricMetricmetric =
'ignore_global_polarity'"ignore_global_polarity""ignore_global_polarity""ignore_global_polarity""ignore_global_polarity""ignore_global_polarity", the object is found in the image
also if the contrast reverses globally. In the above example, the
object hence is also found if it is darker than the background. The
runtime of find_aniso_shape_modelfind_aniso_shape_modelFindAnisoShapeModelfind_aniso_shape_modelFindAnisoShapeModelFindAnisoShapeModel will increase slightly in
this case. If MetricMetricMetricMetricMetricmetric = 'ignore_local_polarity'"ignore_local_polarity""ignore_local_polarity""ignore_local_polarity""ignore_local_polarity""ignore_local_polarity",
the model is found even if the contrast changes locally. This mode
can, for example, be useful if the object consists of a part with
medium gray value, within which either darker or brighter
sub-objects lie. Since in this case the runtime of
find_aniso_shape_modelfind_aniso_shape_modelFindAnisoShapeModelfind_aniso_shape_modelFindAnisoShapeModelFindAnisoShapeModel increases significantly, it is
usually better to create several models that reflect the possible
contrast variations of the object with
create_aniso_shape_model_xldcreate_aniso_shape_model_xldCreateAnisoShapeModelXldcreate_aniso_shape_model_xldCreateAnisoShapeModelXldCreateAnisoShapeModelXld, and to match them simultaneously
with find_aniso_shape_modelsfind_aniso_shape_modelsFindAnisoShapeModelsfind_aniso_shape_modelsFindAnisoShapeModelsFindAnisoShapeModels. The above three metrics can
only be applied to single-channel images. If a multichannel image
is used as the model image or as the search image only the first
channel will be used (and no error message will be returned). If
MetricMetricMetricMetricMetricmetric = 'ignore_color_polarity'"ignore_color_polarity""ignore_color_polarity""ignore_color_polarity""ignore_color_polarity""ignore_color_polarity", the model is
found even if the color contrast changes locally. This is, for
example, the case if parts of the object can change their color,
e.g., from red to green. In particular, this mode is useful if it
is not known in advance in which channels the object is visible. In
this mode, the runtime of find_aniso_shape_modelfind_aniso_shape_modelFindAnisoShapeModelfind_aniso_shape_modelFindAnisoShapeModelFindAnisoShapeModel can also
increase significantly. The metric 'ignore_color_polarity'"ignore_color_polarity""ignore_color_polarity""ignore_color_polarity""ignore_color_polarity""ignore_color_polarity"
can be used for images with an arbitrary number of channels. If it
is used for single-channel images it has the same effect as
'ignore_local_polarity'"ignore_local_polarity""ignore_local_polarity""ignore_local_polarity""ignore_local_polarity""ignore_local_polarity". It should be noted that for
MetricMetricMetricMetricMetricmetric = 'ignore_color_polarity'"ignore_color_polarity""ignore_color_polarity""ignore_color_polarity""ignore_color_polarity""ignore_color_polarity" the
channels do not need to contain a spectral
subdivision of the light (like in an RGB image). The channels can,
for example, also contain images of the same object that were
obtained by illuminating the object from different directions.
Note that the first two metrics ('use_polarity'"use_polarity""use_polarity""use_polarity""use_polarity""use_polarity" and
'ignore_global_polarity'"ignore_global_polarity""ignore_global_polarity""ignore_global_polarity""ignore_global_polarity""ignore_global_polarity") can only be selected if all
ContoursContoursContoursContoursContourscontours provide the attribute 'edge_direction'"edge_direction""edge_direction""edge_direction""edge_direction""edge_direction", which
defines the polarity of the edges. This attribute is available for contours
created, e.g., with edges_sub_pixedges_sub_pixEdgesSubPixedges_sub_pixEdgesSubPixEdgesSubPix with the parameter MethodMethodMethodMethodMethodmethod
set to, e.g., 'canny'"canny""canny""canny""canny""canny". Otherwise, these two metrics can be
selected with the operator set_shape_model_metricset_shape_model_metricSetShapeModelMetricset_shape_model_metricSetShapeModelMetricSetShapeModelMetric, which determines
the polarity of the edges from an image.
The center of gravity of the smallest surrounding rectangle of the
ContoursContoursContoursContoursContourscontours is used as the origin (reference point) of the
model. A different origin can be set with
set_shape_model_originset_shape_model_originSetShapeModelOriginset_shape_model_originSetShapeModelOriginSetShapeModelOrigin.
The XLD contours passed in ContoursContoursContoursContoursContourscontours should have been scaled
to approximately the average size of the object in the search images.
This means that the products ScaleRMinScaleRMinScaleRMinScaleRMinScaleRMinscaleRMin times
ScaleRMaxScaleRMaxScaleRMaxScaleRMaxScaleRMaxscaleRMax and ScaleCMinScaleCMinScaleCMinScaleCMinScaleCMinscaleCMin times ScaleCMaxScaleCMaxScaleCMaxScaleCMaxScaleCMaxscaleCMax
should be approximately equal to 1.
Note that, in contrast to the operator
create_aniso_shape_modelcreate_aniso_shape_modelCreateAnisoShapeModelcreate_aniso_shape_modelCreateAnisoShapeModelCreateAnisoShapeModel, it is not possible to specify a
minimum size of the model components. To avoid small model
components in the shape model, short contours can be eliminated
before calling create_aniso_shape_model_xldcreate_aniso_shape_model_xldCreateAnisoShapeModelXldcreate_aniso_shape_model_xldCreateAnisoShapeModelXldCreateAnisoShapeModelXld with the
operator select_contours_xldselect_contours_xldSelectContoursXldselect_contours_xldSelectContoursXldSelectContoursXld.
