xsp_chamfer_dist — 2D region op

Data kinds: regionimage

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

xsp_chamfer_dist: 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.*

*The output is shown in a viridis-like pseudo-colour (dark purple = low, yellow = high) so that a field of quantities — distance, phase, orientation, depth — can be read.*

*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).*

Usage

City-block (chamfer) distance to the nearest background pixel, normalised to [0,1].

★2026-09-02: 縮退入力での 符号つきセンチネル を潰す。

`scipy.ndimage.distance_transform_cdt` は「背景画素が 1 つも無い」入力に対して

距離ではなく -1 を全画素に書く(実測: `np.ones((8,8), bool)` -> min=max=-1)。

旧実装はそれをそのまま `_norm` に通していたので、**塗り潰された領域の距離マップが

一様 -1 の「画像」**になっていた —— 例外も警告も出ないまま値域 [0,1] の image 契約を

破り、保存・表示では全面が黒に潰れる。

背景が無い = どの画素も「無限に遠い」ので、正規化後の正直な答えは 一様 1.0

前景が無いときは距離 0 の一様 0.0。どちらも符号つきの値を返さない。
