Description

hysteresis_thresholdhysteresis_thresholdHysteresisThresholdHysteresisThresholdHysteresisThresholdhysteresis_threshold performs a hysteresis threshold operation (introduced by Canny) on an image. All points in the input image ImageImageImageImageimageimage having a gray value larger than or equal to HighHighHighHighhighhigh are immediately accepted (“secure” points). Conversely, all points with gray values less than LowLowLowLowlowlow are immediately rejected. “Potential” points with gray values between both thresholds are accepted if they are connected to “secure” points by a path of “potential” points having a length of at most MaxLengthMaxLengthMaxLengthMaxLengthmaxLengthmax_length points. This means that “secure” points influence their surroundings (hysteresis).

Attention

For images of type byte, uint2, or int4 the lower threshold must be LowLowLowLowlowlow > 0.

Result

hysteresis_thresholdhysteresis_thresholdHysteresisThresholdHysteresisThresholdHysteresisThresholdhysteresis_threshold returns TRUE if all parameters are correct. The behavior with respect to the input images and output regions can be determined by setting the values of the flags 'no_object_result'"no_object_result""no_object_result""no_object_result""no_object_result""no_object_result", 'empty_region_result'"empty_region_result""empty_region_result""empty_region_result""empty_region_result""empty_region_result", and 'store_empty_region'"store_empty_region""store_empty_region""store_empty_region""store_empty_region""store_empty_region" with set_systemset_systemSetSystemSetSystemSetSystemset_system. If necessary, an exception is raised.
