halcon_ext op• Data kinds: image → region
• Call: fullseye.apply(img, "hx_detect_edge_segments", a=0.5, b=0.5) (the 2-D model is one image plus two scalar knobs a,b∈[0,1])
• HALCON equivalent: detect_edge_segments (the HALCON reference is a useful guide to its meaning and parameters)

*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_detect_edge_segments: knob a sweep (docs site)
Sweeping knob b (0.1 / 0.5 / 0.9, the other knob at its default):
▸ hx_detect_edge_segments: knob b sweep (docs site)
On other images (synthetic scene / photo / coins. Top row: inputs, bottom row: their outputs. Knobs at default):
▸ hx_detect_edge_segments: 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).*
Detect straight edge fragments: thin by NMS, then keep the connected components that PCA finds elongated (line-like).

`hx_nonmax_dir(v, a, 0) で細線化したエッジ(> 0`)を 8 近傍で連結成分に分け、各成分の画素座標の共分散
固有値比 `λmax/λmin が min_ratio` 以上のもの(細長い=直線状)だけを 1 とする 0/1 の float region を返す。
• `a → 細線化段の弱エッジしきい値(hx_nonmax_dir の a と同じ。正規化振幅 a*0.3` 未満を捨てる)。
• `b → 細長さのしきい値 min_ratio = 3 + b*12`(3〜15)。大きいほど真っ直ぐな断片だけ残る。
• 画素数 5 未満の成分は無条件に捨てる。`λmin` がほぼ 0(完全な直線)なら比を無限大として採用する。
注意: 直線性の判定は「点群の広がりが 1 軸に偏っているか」であり、曲線でも十分細長ければ通る。細線化段が斜め
エッジをほとんど細線化しない(`hx_nonmax_dir` の注記参照)ため、斜めのエッジは幅を持った塊になり固有値比が
下がって落とされやすい。連結成分単位なので、交差した線は 1 つの成分として比が下がる。後段で線分ごとに扱うなら
`hx_region_to_label や hough_line_trans`。
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.
