RegionBoundaries


Header: AVL.h
Namespace: avl
Module: FoundationBasic

Removes interior pixels from a region.

Syntax

C++
C#
 
void avl::RegionBoundaries
(
	const avl::Region& inRegion,
	avl::RegionConnectivity::Type inConnectivity,
	avl::Region& outRegion
)

Parameters

Name Type Default Description
inRegion const Region& Input region
inConnectivity RegionConnectivity::Type Type of connectivity used for the region foreground
outRegion Region& Output region

Description

The operation removes all internal pixels from the region (thus leaving only the boundary pixels). The definition of internal pixel depends on the inConnectivity value:

  • If inConnectivity is set to Four directions, internal pixels are those having neighbours in all four major directions (up, down, left, right) also contained in the region
  • If inConnectivity is set to Eight directions, internal pixels are those having neighbours in all eight directions (four major + four diagonal) also contained in the region

Examples

RegionBoundaries run on a sample region.
