hx_estimate_sl_al_zc — 2D halcon_ext op

Data kinds: imagefeature

Call: fullseye.apply(img, "hx_estimate_sl_al_zc", 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_zc (the HALCON reference is a useful guide to its meaning and parameters)

hx_estimate_sl_al_zc: 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

Zheng-Chellappa: estimate the slant, corrected by the gradient energy.

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

`hx_estimate_sl_al_lr と同じ arccos(<I>) の slant に、Sobel 勾配振幅の平均 e`(1 で頭打ち)による係数

`(1 + min(e, 1)) を掛けて、pi/2 で割り 1 で頭打ちした np.float64` を返す。「勾配が強い=斜光=slant 大」

という向きの補正。

• `a, b` は未使用。

補正係数は 1〜2 倍で、平均輝度が低く勾配も強い画像では上限 1 に張り付く。勾配振幅はテクスチャや雑音でも

増えるので、照明以外の要因で slant が過大に出る。前段に `gauss_filter` を置くと雑音分の勾配は減る。

反射率の推定は `hx_estimate_al_am、方位は hx_estimate_tilt_zc`。
