def zero_crossing(image: HObject) -> HObject

Description

zero_crossingzero_crossingZeroCrossingZeroCrossingZeroCrossingzero_crossing returns the zero crossings of the input image as a region. A pixel is accepted as a zero crossing if its gray value (in ImageImageImageImageimageimage) is zero, or if at least one of its neighbors of the 4-neighborhood has a different sign.

This operator is intended to be used after edge operators returning the second derivative of the image (e.g., laplace_of_gausslaplace_of_gaussLaplaceOfGaussLaplaceOfGaussLaplaceOfGausslaplace_of_gauss), which were possibly followed by a smoothing operator. In this case, the zero crossings are (candidates for) edges.
