hx_polar_trans_inv — 2D halcon_ext op

Data kinds: contourcontour

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

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

hx_polar_trans_inv: 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

Take the contour points as (radius, angle) and transform them back to Cartesian coordinates (the inverse of polar_trans).

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

各 contour の点を `(row, col) = (半径 rad, 角度) とみなし、ang = col / W * 2*pi` として

`(cy + rad*sin(ang), cx + rad*cos(ang))(cy, cx = H/2, W/2`)の直交座標に戻した contour を返す。

• `a, b` は未使用。

• 半径は行の値をそのまま画素距離として使い、角度は列を画像幅で 0〜2π に写す。

注意: 順変換 `polar_trans_contour_xld は行を r / max(H, W) * H、列を (θ + π) / 2π * W` として

出力するため、この op はその厳密な逆にはなっていない。角度に π のずれ(点が中心対称の位置に写る)、非正方画像では

半径に `max(H, W)/H` 倍のずれが出る(往復で半径の 2 倍の誤差が出る実測)。順変換との往復を期待するときは

この差を織り込むか、この op を「列=角度・行=半径の一般的な極座標表現から直交へ」の変換として単独で使う。
