Parameters

inImage: Type: AvlNet.Image
Input image
inScanMap: Type: AvlNet.ScanMap
Data precomputed with CreateScanMap
inEdgeScanParams: Type: AvlNet.EdgeScanParams
Parameters controlling the edge extraction process
inEdgeCount: Type: System.Int32
Number of edges to be found
inEdgeSelection: Type: AvlNet.Selection
Selection mode of the resulting edges
inMinDistance: Type: System.Single
Minimal distance between consecutive edges
inMaxDistance: Type: System.Nullable<System.Single>
Maximal distance between consecutive edges, or null.
inLocalBlindness: Type: AvlNet.LocalBlindness
Defines conditions in which weaker edges can be detected in the vicinity of stronger edges, or null.
outEdges: Type: AvlNet.Edge1D
Found edges
outGaps: Type: AvlNet.Gap1D
Gaps between consecutive edges
diagBrightnessProfile: Type: AvlNet.Profile
Extracted image profile
diagResponseProfile: Type: AvlNet.Profile
Profile of the edge (derivative) operator response

Description

The operation scans the image using inScanMap previously generated from a scan path and finds a set of inEdgeCount image edges perpendicular to the path. If no subset (of inEdgeCount elements) of detected edges meets the requirements of inEdgeScanParams.minMagnitude, inMinDistance, inEdgeScanParams.edgeTransition then the outputs are set to NIL.

Note that in case of a scan path which is closed, the parameters controlling the distances between consecutive found objects do not control the distance between the first and the last of the found objects (counting from the beginning of the scan path).

Examples

ScanExactlyNEdges locates the edges using a scan map representing the scan path above (inEdgeCount = 61).
