edges op• Data kinds: image → image
• Call: fullseye.apply(img, "points_harris_binomial", a=0.5, b=0.5) (the 2-D model is one image plus two scalar knobs a,b∈[0,1])
• HALCON equivalent: points_harris_binomial (the HALCON reference is a useful guide to its meaning and parameters)

*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.*
*The output is shown in a viridis-like pseudo-colour (dark purple = low, yellow = high) so that a field of quantities — distance, phase, orientation, depth — can be read.*
Sweeping knob a (0.1 / 0.5 / 0.9, the other knob at its default):
▸ points_harris_binomial: knob a sweep (docs site)
Sweeping knob b (0.1 / 0.5 / 0.9, the other knob at its default):
▸ points_harris_binomial: knob b sweep (docs site)
On other images (synthetic scene / photo / coins. Top row: inputs, bottom row: their outputs. Knobs at default):
▸ points_harris_binomial: other inputs (docs site)
*The 4th column is a colour (H,W,3) input. This op handles colour without crossing channels (it does not convolve the colour channel as a third spatial axis).*
Harris corner response preceded by binomial (Gaussian) smoothing. First smooths the image with a sigma determined by `b, then computes the Harris response on top of it (using corner_harris if skimage is available, otherwise manually computing the structure tensor, with k=0.04). Corresponds to HALCON's points_harris_binomial` (Detect points of interest using the binomial approximation of the Harris operator.).

Value comparability (measured): the output is normalised by that image's own maximum (the output maximum is always 1.0, and scaling the input leaves the output unchanged). Values therefore cannot be compared across images — a feature of the same strength takes a different value depending on what the strongest feature in that image happens to be, and in an image holding only weak features the noise is lifted to 1.0. To compare across images, rescale by a common reference.
