AVL.ScanExactlyNStripes Method

Locates a specified number of multiple pairs of opposite edges across a given path.

Namespace:AvlNet
Assembly:AVL.NET.dll

Syntax

public static void ScanExactlyNStripes(
	AvlNet.Image inImage,
	AvlNet.ScanMap inScanMap,
	AvlNet.StripeScanParams inStripeScanParams,
	int inStripeCount,
	AvlNet.Selection inStripeSelection,
	float inMinGapWidth,
	float? inMaxGapWidth,
	AvlNet.LocalBlindness? inLocalBlindness,
	out AvlNet.Stripe1D[] outStripes,
	out AvlNet.Gap1D[] outGaps,
	out AvlNet.Profile diagBrightnessProfile,
	out AvlNet.Profile diagResponseProfile
)

Parameters

Name Type Range Default Description
inImageAvlNet.ImageInput image.
inScanMapAvlNet.ScanMapData precomputed with CreateScanMap.
inStripeScanParamsAvlNet.StripeScanParamsParameters controlling the stripe extraction process.
inStripeCountint<0, INF>1Number of stripes to be found. Default value: 1.
inStripeSelectionAvlNet.Selectionavl::Selection::BestSelection mode of the resulting stripes. Default value: avl::Selection::Best.
inMinGapWidthfloat<0.0f, INF>Minimal distance between consecutive stripes.
inMaxGapWidthfloat?<0.0f, INF>Maximal distance between consecutive stripes. Default value: atl::NIL, or null.
inLocalBlindnessAvlNet.LocalBlindness?Defines conditions in which weaker edges can be detected in the vicinity of stronger edges. Default value: atl::NIL, or null.
outStripesAvlNet.Stripe1DFound stripes.
outGapsAvlNet.Gap1DDistances between consecutive stripes.
diagBrightnessProfileAvlNet.ProfileExtracted image profile.
diagResponseProfileAvlNet.ProfileProfile 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 inStripeCount consecutive stripes (i.e. pairs of opposite-polarity edges running across the path). If no subset (of inStripeCount elements) of detected edge pairs meets the requirements of inStripeScanParams.stripePolarity, inStripeScanParams.minMagnitude, inStripeScanParams.minStripeWidth and inMinGapWidth 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

ScanExactlyNStripes locates the edge pairs using a scan map representing the scan path above (inStripeCount = 2, inStripeScanParams.stripePolarity = Dark).
