hx_regress_contours — 2D halcon_ext op

Data kinds: contourfeature

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

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

hx_regress_contours: 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

Fit a regression line to each contour and return the mean residual (the deviation from the line; a feature). Small = line-like.

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

点数 3 以上の各 contour について、点の重心を通る全最小二乗直線(座標共分散の最小固有ベクトルを法線とする)を

当て、点から直線までの距離の RMS を求める。全 contour の RMS を平均し `max(H, W)` で割って 1 で頭打ちした

`np.float64` を返す。

• `a, b` は未使用。

• 有効な contour が無ければ 0.0(「完全な直線」と区別できない)。

小さいほど直線的。直線そのものの傾きや位置は返さない(当てはめ結果が要るなら `fit_line_contours`)。

折れ線としての角の数を見たいなら `hx_split_contours` で分割してから線分数を数える。点数 2 以下の contour は

評価から外れる。1 本の contour だけを対象にした同種の指標は `xg_regress_contours`。
