Parameters

Name Type Range Default Description
inImageAvlNet.ImageInput image.
inScanMapAvlNet.ScanMapData precomputed with CreateScanMap.
inEdgeScanParamsAvlNet.EdgeScanParamsEdgeScanParams ( ProfileInterpolation: Quadratic4 SmoothingStdDev: 0.6f MinMagnitude: 5.0f EdgeTransition: BrightToDark )Parameters controlling the edge extraction process. Default value: EdgeScanParams ( ProfileInterpolation: Quadratic4 SmoothingStdDev: 0.6f MinMagnitude: 5.0f EdgeTransition: BrightToDark ).
inMinDistancefloat<0.0f, INF>0.0fMinimal distance between consecutive edges. Default value: 0.0f.
inMaxDistancefloat?<0.0f, INF>Maximal distance between consecutive edges. Default value: atl::NIL.
inLocalBlindnessAvlNet.LocalBlindness?Defines conditions in which weaker edges can be detected in the vicinity of stronger edges. Default value: atl::NIL.
outEdgesSystem.Collections.Generic.IList<AvlNet.Edge1D>Found edges.
outGapsSystem.Collections.Generic.IList<AvlNet.Gap1D>Gaps between consecutive edges.
outBrightnessProfileAvlNet.ProfileExtracted image profile.
outResponseProfileAvlNet.ProfileProfile of the edge (derivative) operator response.

Description

The operation scans the image using inScanMap previously generated from a scan path and detects image edges perpendicular to the path. Depending on the inEdgeScanParams.edgeTransition parameter, edges representing increase or decrease (or both) of image brightness along the path will be taken into account.

When the number of edges to be found is known, one can use the ScanExactlyNEdges.

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

ScanExactlyNEdges locates the edges using a scan map representing the scan path above.
