hx_radial_distort_contour — 2D halcon_ext op

Data kinds: contourcontour

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

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

hx_radial_distort_contour: 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.*

Sweeping knob a (0.1 / 0.5 / 0.9, the other knob at its default):

hx_radial_distort_contour: knob a sweep (docs site)

*Knob b does not change the output (measured: identical at 0.1 / 0.5 / 0.9).*

Stages (the ops that come before → this op, left to right):

On other images (synthetic scene / photo / coins. Top row: inputs, bottom row: their outputs. Knobs at default):

Usage

Apply radial distortion r' = r(1 + k r^2) to a contour (k from (a−0.5): barrel or pincushion).

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

各 contour の点を画像中心 `(H/2, W/2) からの相対座標 d にし、正規化半径 r = |d| / (max(H, W)/2)` に

対して `d' = d * (1 + k*r^2)` と伸縮させた contour を返す(放射歪みモデルの 1 次項)。

• `a → 歪み係数 k = (a - 0.5) * 1.5(-0.75〜+0.75)。k < 0 で点が中心に寄る(樽型)、k > 0` で

外へ広がる(糸巻き型)、a=0.5 で無変化。

• `b` は未使用。

半径は画像長辺の半分で正規化しているので、画像の隅で `r が 1 前後になり、k = ±0.75` なら隅の点は

1.75 倍/0.25 倍まで動く。逆変換は無い(`k` の符号を反転しても厳密には戻らない)。レンズ歪みの影響を contour

計測(`hx_fit_circle_contour` 等)で試す、あるいは合成的にデータを増やす用途。
