halcon_ext op• Data kinds: image → image
• Call: fullseye.apply(img, "hx_gabor", a=0.5, b=0.5) (the 2-D model is one image plus two scalar knobs a,b∈[0,1])
• HALCON equivalent: convol_gabor (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.*
*The output is shown in a viridis-like pseudo-colour (dark purple = low, yellow = high) so that a field of quantities — distance, phase, orientation, depth — can be read.*
Sweeping knob a (0.1 / 0.5 / 0.9, the other knob at its default):
▸ hx_gabor: knob a sweep (docs site)
Sweeping knob b (0.1 / 0.5 / 0.9, the other knob at its default):
▸ hx_gabor: knob b sweep (docs site)
On other images (synthetic scene / photo / coins. Top row: inputs, bottom row: their outputs. Knobs at default):
▸ hx_gabor: 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).*
A Gabor filter (orientation theta = a*pi, frequency freq = 0.08 + 0.35b). Returns the magnitude of the response.

向きの規約は core の `gabor と同じ: a=0 (θ=0) が **縦縞**、a=0.5`
(θ=90°) が横縞に最も応答する。
★正規化(2026-09-02 の修正): カーネルの L1 ノルムで割る固定スケール。
以前は `_norm01`(その画像の min–max を [0,1] へ引き伸ばす)だったため、
向きによる応答の大小が潰れるどころか 順序が逆転していた —— 実測
(96×96 の横縞、b=0.5): 横縞検出器 (a=0.5) の平均 0.34663 に対し、ほとんど
反応しないはずの縦縞検出器 (a=0) が 0.58434 と 高く出ていた(弱い応答ほど
引き伸ばし率が大きいため)。`|v| <= 1 なら |v * g| <= sum|g|` なので
L1 で割れば [0,1] を保ったまま向き・画像を跨いで比較できる。
Border handling: mirror repeating the edge pixel (d c b a | a b c d — scipy's default `reflect) (measured; tools/impl2/border_probe.py`).
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.

• Operator provenance and references — the sources of the research/methods this op family came from.
• 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.
