xmh_regmin — 2D morphology/markers op

Data kinds: imageregion

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

xmh_regmin: 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):

xmh_regmin: 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):

xmh_regmin: other inputs (docs site)

*No colour (H,W,3) input is shown: this op treats the colour channel as a third spatial axis (it crosses channels). Call it per channel.*

Usage

Regional minima extraction (`mahotas.regmin`). On a Gaussian-smoothed image, marks the locally darkest valleys as regions. A typical preprocessing step for generating markers for watershed segmentation.

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

`a は平滑化の強さ(σ、0.15〜3.15)を振る —— 大きくするほど微小なノイズ谷が消え、大きな谷だけが残る。b` は未使用。

Blank frame (measured): feeding an image of uniform brightness makes every pixel foreground (1), regardless of the brightness. A frame that is blown out, occluded, or simply has no subject comes back as “100 % defective”, so test for uniformity upstream and reject such frames.
