hx_estimate_sl_al_lr — 2D halcon_ext op

Data kinds: imagefeature

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

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

hx_estimate_sl_al_lr: 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

Lee-Rosenfeld: estimate the light source's slant (zenith angle, 0 = head-on to pi/2 = grazing). Normalised to [0,1].

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

画像の平均輝度 `<I> を反射率 1 の Lambertian 面の関係 <I> = albedo * cos(slant)` に当てはめ、

`slant = arccos(<I>)pi/2 で割った np.float64`(0〜1)で返す。0 が正面光(平均 1.0)、1 が真横

(平均 0)。

• `a, b` は未使用。

• 平均は [0,1] に clip してから `arccos` に渡すので範囲外にはならない。

実質「平均輝度が低いほど slant が大きい」という 1 対 1 の写像で、反射率は 1 と仮定している(暗い素材も

斜光と区別できない)。勾配で補正する版は `hx_estimate_sl_al_zc、反射率の代理値は hx_estimate_al_am`。

`hx_shade_height_field の仰角 b` と組み合わせて陰影を再現する際の目安に使う。
