halcon_ext op• Data kinds: image → feature
• Call: fullseye.apply(img, "hx_estimate_tilt_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_tilt_zc (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.*
*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).*
Zheng-Chellappa: estimate the tilt from the mean direction of the normalised gradient (independent of local contrast).

Sobel 勾配 `(Ex, Ey) を各画素で振幅 hypot(Ex, Ey) + 1e-9` で割った単位ベクトルにしてから平均し、
`tilt = arctan2(<Ey/|E|>, <Ex/|E|>) を (tilt / 2π) mod 1 で [0,1) に写した np.float64` を返す
(Zheng-Chellappa の tilt 推定)。
• `a, b` は未使用。
• 角度の規約は `hx_estimate_tilt_lr` と同じ(0 が +列方向、0.25 が +行方向)。
各画素の寄与が方向だけになるため、強いエッジや明るい部分に引きずられにくい。反面、勾配がほぼ 0 の平坦部でも
(`1e-9` で割った)雑音の方向が等しく 1 票を持つので、平坦な背景が広い画像では推定がぼやける。前段で
`gauss_filter` を掛けて雑音の勾配を減らすと安定する。

• The canonical algorithm (author, year) and its uses are named in the family usage guide above.
The program below has been verified to run (same input as the figure). In Studio's help this block becomes buttons that load and run it on the spot.
