fill_holes — 2D region op

Data kinds: regionregion

Call: fullseye.apply(img, "fill_holes", a=0.5, b=0.5) (the 2-D model is one image plus two scalar knobs a,b∈[0,1])

HALCON equivalent: fill_up (the HALCON reference is a useful guide to its meaning and parameters)

fill_holes: input → output

*The figure is the actual output on a synthetic 128×128 input. Left: input, right: output. Point clouds are drawn as a top-down scatter (brightness = z), 1-D series as a line plot, volumes as the maximum-intensity projection along z, videos as the middle frame, complex images as magnitude; return values that are not pictures are shown as the values themselves.*

*Knob a does not change the output (measured: identical at 0.1 / 0.5 / 0.9).*

*Knob b does not change the output (measured: identical at 0.1 / 0.5 / 0.9).*

Usage

Fills holes within a region. Equivalent to HALCON's `fill_up` (Fill up holes in regions.).

> The detailed description below is the original text — the summary and the headings are translated.

`a, b は未使用。前景に完全に囲まれた背景画素(穴)をすべて前景に変える(scipy.ndimage.binary_fill_holes`)。画像端に接する背景は穴とみなされないため埋まらない。

連結性: 穴の判定に使う背景は 4 連結(`scipy.ndimage.binary_fill_holes` の既定)。斜めだけで繋がった背景は繋がっているとみなさないので、市松模様では内側の背景画素がすべて穴として埋まる(8x8 で 32 -> 50 画素。実測して scipy の 4 連結参照と位置まで一致、8 連結とは不一致)。第 2 実装がここで別の連結性を選び、差分検査で露見した。
