r2_sort_region — 2D region op

Data kinds: regionregion

Call: fullseye.apply(img, "r2_sort_region", a=0.5, b=0.5) (the 2-D model is one image plus two scalar knobs a,b∈[0,1])

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

r2_sort_region: 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.*

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

r2_sort_region: knob a sweep (docs site)

*Knob b does not change the output (measured: identical at 0.1 / 0.5 / 0.9).*

Stages (the ops that come before → this op, left to right):

r2_sort_region: stages (docs site)

On other images (synthetic scene / photo / coins. Top row: inputs, bottom row: their outputs. Knobs at default):

r2_sort_region: other inputs (docs site)

Usage

Keep the k-th largest connected component; k = round(a*(n-1)).

前景マスク(`> 0.5)を scipy.ndimage.label`(既定の 4 連結)で連結成分に

分け、面積(画素数)の降順に並べて `k 番目の成分だけを残す。k` は

`round(a*(n-1))[0, n-1] に clip した整数で、a=0` で最大成分、

`a=1 で最小成分、a=0.5 でおおよそ中央の順位の成分。n` は成分数。

`b` は未使用。

返り値は入力と同形の float64 0/1 マスク。成分が無ければ全零。同面積の成分が

複数あるときの順位は保証されない(`numpy.argsort` の順序に依存)。成分数

`n が変わると同じ a` でも選ばれる順位が変わる(相対指定)ので、

「最大成分」を確実に取りたいだけなら `a=0select_largest` を使う。

斜め接続だけでつながった画素は別成分として数えられる(4 連結)。前段に

`opening_circle` でくびれを切っておくと成分単位の選択が安定する。

Border handling: treat everything outside the image as background (0) (measured; tools/impl2/border_probe.py).
