xg_clip_contours — 2D xldgeom op

Data kinds: contourcontour

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

xg_clip_contours: 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):

xg_clip_contours: 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):

xg_clip_contours: stages (docs site)

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

xg_clip_contours: other inputs (docs site)

Usage

Drop contours whose polyline length is below a * max-length (a in [0,1]).

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

各輪郭の折れ線長(隣接点間のユークリッド距離の和)を求め、最長の輪郭の長さ

`L_max に対して length >= a * L_max を満たす輪郭だけ残す。a` は

[0,1] に clip され、`a=0 で全輪郭を残し、a=1` で最長の輪郭(同長なら

複数)だけ残す。`b` は未使用。

返り値は入力と同じ `{"shape", "cs"}` 形式の輪郭辞書(点配列はコピー)。

輪郭が無ければ `cs は空。L_max <= 1e-12`(全輪郭が 1 点)なら全輪郭を

そのまま返す。しきい値が画像サイズでなく「最長輪郭に対する相対値」なので、

最長の輪郭が変わると選別基準も動く(点数の絶対値で選ぶなら

`select_contours_xld`)。名前から想像される矩形での切り取りではなく、

長さによる選別である(矩形で切るのは `xg_crop_contours / hx_clip_contours`)。

閉輪郭の重複終点も長さに含むが、0 長の辺なので影響しない。
