xg_gen_polygons — 2D xldgeom op

Data kinds: contourcontour

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

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

xg_gen_polygons: 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_gen_polygons: 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_gen_polygons: stages (docs site)

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

Usage

Douglas-Peucker polyline simplification; eps = a * contour bbox diagonal.

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

各輪郭を Ramer-Douglas-Peucker 法で間引いて頂点数の少ない折れ線(多角形)に

する。始点と終点は必ず残し、区間の弦から最も離れた点の距離が `eps` を

超えればその点を採用して再帰的に分割する。`eps` は輪郭ごとに、その輪郭の

bbox の対角長 `hypot(Δrow, Δcol)a`([0,1] に clip)を掛けた値。

`a=0eps=0(弦上に完全に乗る点だけ落ちる)、a` を上げるほど粗く

なり、`a=1 では両端の 2 点だけになる。b` は未使用。

返り値は `{"shape", "cs"}` の輪郭辞書。点が 3 個未満の輪郭はコピーのまま。

閉輪郭(先頭=末尾)は始点と終点が同じ点なので、`a` が大きいと 2 点(同一点)に

退化し、面積や向きの特徴量が 0 になる。閉輪郭の形を保ちたい場合は `a` を

小さめにする(実測では半径 5〜8 の楕円 101 点が `a=0.05` で 9 点)。

間引きは元の点の部分集合を返し、新しい点は作らない。後段の `xg_area_center`

や `xg_regress_contours` の計算量を減らす前処理、折れ線の角(頂点)検出に。
