ProfileEdges

Header:	AVL.h
Namespace:	avl
Module:	FoundationPro

Finds the locations at which the profile values raise or fall quickly.

Applications: Can be used for 1D edge detection when the brightness profile is extracted from an image in a non-standard way.

Syntax

void avl::ProfileEdges
(
	const avl::Profile& inProfile,
	atl::Optional<const avl::Range&> inRange,
	bool inCyclic,
	const avl::EdgeScanParams& inEdgeScanParams,
	float inMinDistance,
	atl::Optional<float> inMaxDistance,
	atl::Optional<const avl::LocalBlindness&> inLocalBlindness,
	atl::Array<avl::ProfileEdge>& outEdges,
	atl::Optional<atl::Array<float>&> outDistances = atl::NIL,
	avl::Profile& diagResponseProfile = atl::Dummy<avl::Profile>()
)

Parameters

Name	Type	Range	Default	Description
inProfile	const Profile&			Input profile
inRange	Optional<const Range&>		NIL
inCyclic	bool
inEdgeScanParams	const EdgeScanParams&		EdgeScanParams ( ProfileInterpolation: Quadratic4 SmoothingStdDev: 0.6f MinMagnitude: 5.0f EdgeTransition: BrightToDark )	Parameters controlling the edge extraction process
inMinDistance	float	0.0 -	0.0f	Minimal distance between consecutive edges
inMaxDistance	Optional<float>	0.0 -	NIL	Maximal distance between consecutive edges
inLocalBlindness	Optional<const LocalBlindness&>		NIL	Defines conditions in which weaker edges can be detected in the vicinity of stronger edges
outEdges	Array<ProfileEdge>&			Found edges
outDistances	Optional<Array<float>&>		NIL	Output distances between consecutive edges
diagResponseProfile	Profile&			Profile of the edge (derivative) operator response

Optional Outputs

The computation of following outputs can be switched off by passing value atl::NIL to these parameters: outDistances.
