vol_opening_ball — 2D 3d op

Data kinds: volumevolume

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

vol_opening_ball: 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):

vol_opening_ball: knob a sweep (docs site)

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

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

Motion (GIF: frames / views / slices in turn. The still figure is the complete one; the GIF is supplementary):

Usage

3D binary opening using a spherical structuring element (erosion followed by dilation with the same sphere). No corresponding HALCON op is specified.

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

`a が球の半径を 1〜41+int(3a))に振る。b` は未使用。侵食と膨張に同じ半径の球を使うため、球より小さい突起・細い連結だけを選択的に除去する。
