CreateSurfaceScanMap


Header: AVL.h
Namespace: avl
Module: Vision3DStandard

Precomputes a data object that is required for fast 1D edge detection in 3D.

Applications: Used together with 1D Edge Detection 3D filters, but can be moved before the loop if only the scan parameters do not change.

Syntax

C++
C#
 
void avl::CreateSurfaceScanMap
(
	const avl::SurfaceFormat& inSurfaceFormat,
	const avl::Path& inScanPath,
	atl::Optional<const avl::CoordinateSystem2D&> inScanPathAlignment,
	atl::Optional<float> inSamplingStep,
	int inScanWidth,
	avl::InterpolationMethod::Type inSurfaceInterpolation,
	avl::ScanMap& outScanMap,
	atl::Optional<avl::Path&> outAlignedScanPath = atl::NIL,
	atl::Array<avl::Path>& diagSamplingPoints,
	float& diagSamplingStep
)

Parameters

Name Type Range Default Description
Input value inSurfaceFormat const SurfaceFormat& Dimensions, depth image pixel type, coordinate offsets and scales of a surface on which edge detection will be performed
Input value inScanPath const Path& Path along which the scan is performed
Input value inScanPathAlignment Optional<const CoordinateSystem2D&> NIL Adjusts the scan path to the position of the inspected object
Input value inSamplingStep Optional<float> 0.0 - NIL Desired distance between consecutive sampling points on the scan path; if Nil, the bigger of surface X and Y scales is chosen
Input value inScanWidth int 1 - 5 Width of the scan field in pixels of the surface depth image
Input value inSurfaceInterpolation InterpolationMethod::Type Bilinear Interpolation method used for extraction of depth image pixel values
Output value outScanMap ScanMap& Optimized data object required for 1D edge detection in 3D
Output value outAlignedScanPath Optional<Path&> NIL Transformed input path
Diagnostic input diagSamplingPoints Array<Path>& Array of paths each one containing the sampling points that contributed to a single value of the extracted profile; in the image coordinate system
Diagnostic input diagSamplingStep float& Used distance between consecutive sampling points on the scan path

Optional Outputs

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

Read more about Optional Outputs.

Description

The operation creates a scan map from a given inScanPath. The scan map can be later used by other 1D Edge Detection 3D filters.

The optional parameter inScanPathAlignment defines a transform to be performed on the inScanPath so that the actual scan path (outAlignedScanPath) is adjusted to the position of the object.
