tb_plane_sdf — 2D typed op

Data kinds: pointsvolume

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

tb_plane_sdf: 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).*

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

Usage

> This operator's description has not been translated yet. The original text follows as it is.

半空間(平面で切った側)の厳密な符号付き距離場(内側負・外側正)。

`sdf(p) = (p - point) · n̂。法線 ` の指す側が外側(正)で、反対側が内側。

面取り(chamfer)・切断・「基板から上だけ」のような片側だけを残す演算に使う。

`sdf_intersect` を重ねれば任意の凸多面体が作れる。ただし **max による交差は角の外側で

厳密ではない**: 6 枚で直方体を作ると占有(`<= 0)と内側の値は box_sdf` に完全一致

するが、外側は角の近くで最大 2.1(半辺 2 の箱・格子 0.25 で実測)だけ過小評価する

—— CSG の標準的な性質で、距離そのものが要るなら `box_sdf` を使う。

厳密性: 平面は全空間で勾配ノルム 1 なので、この値はどこでも真の符号付き距離

(`box_sdf` のように角で切り替わる場合分けが要らない)。

引数と検証(`ValueError`):

• `grid: 最終軸が 3 の float 配列 (..., 3)(grid_coords` の出力または点列)。

• `point`: 平面上の 1 点(要素数 3)。

• `normal`: 平面の法線(要素数 3、零ベクトル・NaN は拒否)。長さは自動で 1 に

正規化するので、大きさは結果に影響しない(向きだけが意味を持つ)。

返り値: `grid.shape[:-1]` の float64。法線側で正、反対側で負、平面上で 0。

使いどころ: `sdf_subtract(part, plane_sdf(g, p, n))` で「その平面より法線側を削る」。

向きを逆にしたいときは `normal の符号を反転する(-sdf` でも同じ)。

2-D 進化レジストリへ橋渡しした 3d の op `plane_sdf。実装は同じで、呼び出し規約だけ op(v, a, b) に合わせてある。この op に調整点は無く、ab` も使われない。

References (sample data, literature)

• Sample-data catalog (download URLs / licences) — 2-D uses skimage.data (BSD/public domain) plus synthetic images; 3-D lists download URLs for real data sources (Stanford, PDS, …).

• Operator provenance and references — the sources of the research/methods this op family came from.

Runnable examples (verified samples that actually call this op)

The examples below call the underlying ledger op plane_sdf. This bridge op is the same implementation adapted to the fn(v, a, b) convention, so the behaviour carries over unchanged (only the call form differs).

Ops the type connects to (they accept volume as input)
