hx_select_xld_point — 2D halcon_ext op

Data kinds: contourcontour

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

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

hx_select_xld_point: 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).*

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

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

Keep only the contours whose bounding box contains the query point (normalised a, b) — a filter.

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

正規化座標 `(a, b) のクエリ点 (qy, qx) = (a*H, b*W)` が、contour の外接軸並行矩形

`[min row, max row] × [min col, max col]` に入る contour だけを残して返す。

• `a` → クエリ点の行(0〜1 を高さに写す)。

• `b` → クエリ点の列(0〜1 を幅に写す)。

判定は外接矩形であって contour の内側(多角形の内外)ではないので、L 字や環状の contour では contour の外の

点でも選ばれる。厳密な内外判定が要るなら `contours_to_region で region 化して hx_test_region_point`。

点に最も近い contour までの距離は `hx_distance_pc`。該当が無ければ空の contour 集合。
