hx_smallest_rect2_xld — 2D halcon_ext op

Data kinds: contourfeature

Call: fullseye.apply(img, "hx_smallest_rect2_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_rectangle2_xld (the HALCON reference is a useful guide to its meaning and parameters)

hx_smallest_rect2_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 minimum-area oriented rectangle (rectangle area / image area; a feature).

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

全 contour の点をまとめ、0°〜84° を 6° 刻みで回転させて軸並行外接矩形の面積を計算し、その最小値を画像面積

`H*W で割って 1 で頭打ちした np.float64` で返す。

• `a, b` は未使用。

• 点が 3 個未満なら 0.0。各辺には `1e-9` が足してあり、点が同一直線上でも面積は厳密には 0 でなく極小値。

角度探索が 6° 刻みなので真の最小面積より最大で数 % 大きく出ることがある。全 contour を 1 つの矩形で包むため、

離れた contour が複数あると間の空白も含む。アスペクト比は `hx_fit_rectangle2_contour`、軸並行版は

`hx_smallest_rect1_xld`。
