hx_smallest_circle_xld — 2D halcon_ext op

Data kinds: contourfeature

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

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

hx_smallest_circle_xld: 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

The radius of the minimum enclosing circle of all contour points (approximated with the centroid as centre), as a normalised feature.

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

contour dict の全 contour の点をまとめ、点の平均(重心)を中心として最も遠い点までの距離 `r` を求め、

`r / max(H, W)np.float64` で返す。真の最小包含円(中心も最適化)ではなく「重心を中心とする包含円」の

近似で、半径は真値以上になる。

• `a, b` は未使用。

• 点が 1 つも無ければ 0.0(有効な値 0 と区別できない)。

複数 contour があっても 1 つの円で包む(contour ごとではない)。正規化は画像の長辺なので、同じ形でも画像サイズが

変わると値が変わる。円らしさを測りたいなら `hx_fit_circle_contour(残差)や circularity_xld`。

region 版の厳密解は `r2_smallest_circle`。
