reg_erode — 2D region op

Data kinds: regionregion

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

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

reg_erode: 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):

reg_erode: 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):

reg_erode: stages (docs site)

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

reg_erode: other inputs (docs site)

Usage

Binary erosion of a region. Equivalent to HALCON's `erosion_circle` (Erode a region with a circular structuring element.).

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

`a が反復回数を 1〜4_it(a))に振る。b は未使用。構造要素は scipy.ndimage.binary_erosion の既定(十字形、4近傍相当)で、HALCON の円形構造要素とは形が異なる(近似)。入力は v > 0.5` で二値化してから処理する。

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