hx_close_edges_length — 2D halcon_ext op

Data kinds: imageimage

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

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

hx_close_edges_length: 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.*

Sweeping knob a (0.1 / 0.5 / 0.9, the other knob at its default):

hx_close_edges_length: knob a sweep (docs site)

Sweeping knob b (0.1 / 0.5 / 0.9, the other knob at its default):

hx_close_edges_length: knob b sweep (docs site)

On other images (synthetic scene / photo / coins. Top row: inputs, bottom row: their outputs. Knobs at default):

hx_close_edges_length: other inputs (docs site)

*The 4th column is a colour (H,W,3) input. This op handles colour without crossing channels (it does not convolve the colour channel as a third spatial axis).*

Usage

close_edges, and additionally drop short edge fragments below a length (in pixels) threshold.

`v > a で二値化 → 3×3(8 近傍)構造要素で 1 回 binary_closingndimage.label`(既定の 4 近傍連結)で

連結成分にし、画素数が `min_len` 未満の成分を落として 0/1 の float 画像で返す。

• `a` → 二値化しきい値。

• `b → 残す最小画素数 min_len = 2 + int(b*20)`(2〜22)。

• 成分が 1 つも無ければクロージング結果をそのまま返す。

注意: クロージングの構造要素は固定 3×3 で、`hx_close_edges` のような幅の調整は無い。ラベリングが 4 近傍のため

斜めにつながる 1 画素幅の線は別成分に分かれ、「長さ」が短く数えられて消えやすい。`binary_closing` は画像外を

0 と扱うので端 1 画素の帯は常に 0 になる。「長さ」は成分の画素数であり幾何学的な線長ではない(塊も長いと数える)。

Blank frame (measured): feeding an image of uniform brightness gives an empty result — every pixel is background (0) — regardless of the brightness. Pure white and pure black behave alike; brightness by itself detects nothing.
