Description
measure_pairsmeasure_pairsMeasurePairsMeasurePairsMeasurePairsmeasure_pairs
serves to extract straight edge pairs
which lie perpendicular to the major axis of a rectangle or
annular arc.
For an explanation of the concept of 1D measuring see the introduction of
chapter 1D Measuring.
The extraction algorithm of measure_pairsmeasure_pairsMeasurePairsMeasurePairsMeasurePairsmeasure_pairs
is identical to measure_posmeasure_posMeasurePosMeasurePosMeasurePosmeasure_pos
. In addition
the edges are grouped to pairs: If TransitionTransitionTransitionTransitiontransitiontransition
= 'positive'"positive""positive""positive""positive""positive",
the edge points with a dark-to-light transition in the direction of the major
axis of the rectangle are returned in RowEdgeFirstRowEdgeFirstRowEdgeFirstRowEdgeFirstrowEdgeFirstrow_edge_first
and
ColumnEdgeFirstColumnEdgeFirstColumnEdgeFirstColumnEdgeFirstcolumnEdgeFirstcolumn_edge_first
. In this case, the corresponding edges with a
light-to-dark transition are returned in RowEdgeSecondRowEdgeSecondRowEdgeSecondRowEdgeSecondrowEdgeSecondrow_edge_second
and
ColumnEdgeSecondColumnEdgeSecondColumnEdgeSecondColumnEdgeSecondcolumnEdgeSecondcolumn_edge_second
. If TransitionTransitionTransitionTransitiontransitiontransition
= 'negative'"negative""negative""negative""negative""negative", the
behavior is exactly opposite. If TransitionTransitionTransitionTransitiontransitiontransition
= 'all'"all""all""all""all""all", the
first detected edge defines the transition for RowEdgeFirstRowEdgeFirstRowEdgeFirstRowEdgeFirstrowEdgeFirstrow_edge_first
and
ColumnEdgeFirstColumnEdgeFirstColumnEdgeFirstColumnEdgeFirstcolumnEdgeFirstcolumn_edge_first
. I.e., dependent on the positioning of the measure
object, edge pairs with a light-dark-light transition or edge pairs with a
dark-light-dark transition are returned. This is suited, e.g., to measure
objects with different brightness relative to the background.
If more than one consecutive edge with
the same transition is found, the first one is used as a pair element. This
behavior may cause problems in applications in which the threshold
ThresholdThresholdThresholdThresholdthresholdthreshold
cannot be selected high enough to suppress consecutive
edges of the same transition. For these applications, a second pairing mode
exists that only selects the respective strongest edges of a sequence of
consecutive rising and falling edges. This mode is selected by appending
'_strongest'"_strongest""_strongest""_strongest""_strongest""_strongest" to any of the above modes for TransitionTransitionTransitionTransitiontransitiontransition
,
e.g., 'negative_strongest'"negative_strongest""negative_strongest""negative_strongest""negative_strongest""negative_strongest". Finally, it is possible to select which
edge pairs are returned. If SelectSelectSelectSelectselectselect
is set to 'all'"all""all""all""all""all", all
edge pairs are returned. If it is set to 'first'"first""first""first""first""first", only the first of
the extracted edge pairs is returned, while it is set to 'last'"last""last""last""last""last",
only the last one is returned.
The extracted edges are returned as single points which lie on the
major axis of the rectangle. The corresponding edge amplitudes are
returned in AmplitudeFirstAmplitudeFirstAmplitudeFirstAmplitudeFirstamplitudeFirstamplitude_first
and AmplitudeSecondAmplitudeSecondAmplitudeSecondAmplitudeSecondamplitudeSecondamplitude_second
.
In addition, the distance between each edge pair is returned in
IntraDistanceIntraDistanceIntraDistanceIntraDistanceintraDistanceintra_distance
and the distance between consecutive edge
pairs is returned in InterDistanceInterDistanceInterDistanceInterDistanceinterDistanceinter_distance
. Here, IntraDistance[i]
corresponds to the distance between EdgeFirst[i] and EdgeSecond[i],
while InterDistance[i] corresponds to the distance between
EdgeSecond[i] and EdgeFirst[i+1], i.e., the tuple
InterDistanceInterDistanceInterDistanceInterDistanceinterDistanceinter_distance
contains one element less than the tuples
of the edge pairs.
Attention
measure_pairsmeasure_pairsMeasurePairsMeasurePairsMeasurePairsmeasure_pairs
only returns meaningful results if the
assumptions that the edges are straight and perpendicular to the
major axis of the rectangle are fulfilled. Thus, it should not be
used to extract edges from curved objects, for example.
Furthermore, the user should ensure that the rectangle is as close
to perpendicular as possible to the edges in the image. Additionally,
SigmaSigmaSigmaSigmasigmasigma
must not become larger than approx. 0.5 * Length1
(for Length1 see gen_measure_rectangle2gen_measure_rectangle2GenMeasureRectangle2GenMeasureRectangle2GenMeasureRectangle2gen_measure_rectangle2
).
It should be kept in mind that measure_pairsmeasure_pairsMeasurePairsMeasurePairsMeasurePairsmeasure_pairs
ignores the
domain of ImageImageImageImageimageimage
for efficiency reasons. If certain regions
in the image should be excluded from the measurement a new measure
object with appropriately modified parameters should be generated.
Execution Information
- Multithreading type: reentrant (runs in parallel with non-exclusive operators).
- Multithreading scope: global (may be called from any thread).
- Processed without parallelization.
