Description

The operator runlength_featuresrunlength_featuresRunlengthFeaturesRunlengthFeaturesrunlength_features calculates for every input region from RegionsRegionsRegionsregionsregions the number of runs necessary for storing this region with the aid of runlength coding. Furthermore the so-called “K-factor” is determined, which indicates by how much the number of runs differs from the ideal of the square in which this value is 1.0.

The K-factor (KFactorKFactorKFactorKFactorkfactor) is calculated according to the formula: wherein Area indicates the area of the region. It should be noted that the K-factor can be smaller than 1.0 (in case of long horizontal regions).

The L-factor (LFactorLFactorLFactorLFactorlfactor) indicates the mean number of runs for each line index occurring in the region.

MeanLengthMeanLengthMeanLengthmeanLengthmean_length indicates the mean length of the runs. The parameter BytesBytesBytesbytesbytes indicates how many bytes are necessary for coding the region with runlengths.

Attention

All features calculated by the operator runlength_featuresrunlength_featuresRunlengthFeaturesRunlengthFeaturesrunlength_features are not rotation invariant because the runlength coding depends on the direction. The operator runlength_featuresrunlength_featuresRunlengthFeaturesRunlengthFeaturesrunlength_features does not serve for calculating shape features but for controlling and analyzing the efficiency of the runlength coding.

Complexity

The mean runtime complexity is O(1).

Result

The operator runlength_featuresrunlength_featuresRunlengthFeaturesRunlengthFeaturesrunlength_features returns the value 2 ( H_MSG_TRUE) if the input is not empty. If necessary an exception is raised.
