RidgeScanParams

This structure contains parameters of ridge scanning process. Instance of this structure should be customized and passed as a parameter to ridge scanning related functions.

Structure fields and default values (if defined) are described below:

• ProfileInterpolationMethod ProfileInterpolation = Quadratic4 - Selects the method of sub-pixel precise ridge detection
• real SmoothingStdDev = 0.6f - Parameter for gaussian smoothing of the brightness profile
• int RidgeWidth = 5 - Expected thickness of the ridge in pixels
• int RidgeMargin = 2 - Number of pixels that are sampled outside of the ridge, on both of its sides
• RidgeOperator RidgeOperator - Selects the function used to combine the brightness on the left and on the right side of the ridge
• real MinMagnitude = 5.0f - Minimum acceptable ridge strength
• Polarity RidgePolarity - Specifies the type of ridges to be detected (Bright, Dark or Any)
