hx_smallest_rect1_xld — 2D halcon_ext op

Data kinds: contourfeature

Call: fullseye.apply(img, "hx_smallest_rect1_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_rectangle1_xld (the HALCON reference is a useful guide to its meaning and parameters)

hx_smallest_rect1_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 area ratio of the axis-aligned bounding box of all contour points (a feature).

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

contour dict の全点をまとめ、行方向・列方向それぞれの `max - min`(外接軸並行矩形の高さ・幅)の積を

画像面積 `H*W で割った値を np.float64` で返す。

• `a, b` は未使用。

• 点が無ければ 0.0。1 点だけ、または全点が同一行/列でも幅が 0 になり 0.0(`+1` の画素補正はしない)。

全 contour をまとめた 1 つの矩形なので、離れた contour が 2 つあると間の空白も面積に入る。向きを持つ

最小面積矩形は `hx_smallest_rect2_xld、region に対する軸並行外接矩形は smallest_rectangle1`。
