Name

approx_chain_simpleT_approx_chain_simpleApproxChainSimpleApproxChainSimple — Approximate a contour by arcs and lines.

Warning

approx_chain_simpleapprox_chain_simpleApproxChainSimpleApproxChainSimpleApproxChainSimple is obsolete and is only provided for reasons of backward compatibility.

Signature

approx_chain_simple( : : Row, Column : ArcCenterRow, ArcCenterCol, ArcAngle, ArcBeginRow, ArcBeginCol, LineBeginRow, LineBeginCol, LineEndRow, LineEndCol, Order)

Description

The contour of a curve is approximated by a sequence of lines and arcs.

The result of the procedure is returned separately as arcs and lines. If one is interested in the sequence of the segments the individual resulting elements can be read successively from the resulting tuples. The sequence can be taken from the return parameter order (0: next element is next line segment, 1: next element is next arc segment).

The operator approx_chain_simpleapprox_chain_simpleApproxChainSimpleApproxChainSimpleApproxChainSimple behaves similarly as approx_chainapprox_chainApproxChainApproxChainApproxChain except that in the case of approx_chain_simpleapprox_chain_simpleApproxChainSimpleApproxChainSimpleApproxChainSimple the missing parameters are internally allocated as follows: MinWidthCoord = 1.0, MaxWidthCoord = 3.0, ThreshStart = 0.5, ThreshEnd = 0.9, ThreshStep = 0.3, MinWidthSmooth = 1.0, MaxWidthSmooth = 3.0, MinWidthCurve = 2, MaxWidthCurve = 9, Weight1 = 1.0, Weight2 = 1.0, Weight3 = 1.0.

Example (C)

/* read edge image */
read_image(&Image,"fig1_kan");
/* construct edge region */
hysteresis_threshold(Image,&RK1,64,255,40,1);
connection(RK1,&Rand);
/* fetch chain code */
T_get_region_contour(Rand,&Rows,&Columns);
firstline = get_i(Tline,0);
firstcol = get_i(Tcol,0);
/* approximation with lines and circular arcs */
T_approx_chain_simple(Rows,Columns,
                &Bzl,&Bzc,&Br,&Bwl,&Bwc,&Ll0,&Lc0,&Ll1,&Lc1,&order);
nob = length_tuple(Bzl);
nol = length_tuple(Ll0);
/* draw lines and arcs */
set_i(WindowHandleTuple,WindowHandle,0);
set_line_width(WindowHandle,4);
if (nob>0) T_disp_arc(Bzl,Bzc,Br,Bwl,Bwc);
set_line_width(WindowHandle,1);
if (nol>0) T_disp_line(WindowHandleTuple,Ll0,Lc0,Ll1,Lc1);

Result

The operator approx_chain_simpleapprox_chain_simpleApproxChainSimpleApproxChainSimpleApproxChainSimple returns the value 2 (H_MSG_TRUE) if the parameters are correct. Otherwise an exception is raised.
