Description

The operation tries to fit a given path to edges present in the inImage image. Internally, it performs a series of scans with the ScanSingleEdge filter using inFittingMap previously generated from the object being fitted. The found points are then used to determine the actual position of the path in the image. Only inMaxIncompleteness fraction of these scans may fail. If the fitting according to the given parameters is not possible, outPath is set to Nil.

There are also another parameters that control the path fitting process. The inMaxDeviationDelta parameter defines the maximal allowed difference between deviations of consecutive points from the input path points. If some of the scans fail or if some of found points are classified to be wrong according to another control parameters, output path points corresponding to them are interpolated depending on points in their nearest vicinity. No more than inMaxInterpolationLength consecutive points can be interpolated. The exception to this behavior are points which were not found on both ends of the input path. Those are not part of the result at all.

Examples

Fitting a path to the edges of a plastic capsule
(inEdgeSelection = First, inEdgeScanParams.EdgeTransition = BrightToDark).
