AvsFilter_FitArcToStripe
This is Filter Equivalent. This function may be present in generated code, but should not be used in hand-written code. CreateArcFittingMap and FitArcToStripe should be used instead.
Performs a series of 1D stripe detections and finds an arc that best matches the detected points.

Description
The operation tries to fit a given arc to stripe present in the inImage image. Internally, it performs a series of scans with the ScanSingleStripe filter along inScanCount specific scan segments which length is always equal to the inFittingField width. The found points are then used to determine the actual position of the arc in the image. Only inMaxIncompleteness fraction of these scans may fail. If the fitting according to the given parameters is not possible, outArc is set to Nil.
Hints
- Connect an input image to the inImage input.
- Define inStripeScanParams.StripePolarity to detect a particular stripe type, and only that type.
- Adjust inStripeScanParams.MinStripeWidth and inStripeScanParams.MaxStripeWidth to the expected thickness of the stripe (in pixels).
- If no or too few stripe points are found, try decreasing inStripeScanParams.MinMagnitude.
- If some of the scans may fail, set the inMaxIncompleteness input accordingly.
- If some of the scans may produce false results, try different values of the inOutlierSuppression input.
- Use the outStripePoints outputs to visualize the scanning results.
Examples
Fitting an arc to the dark stripe formed on one side of a hole
(inStripeScanParams.Polarity = Dark).
