CreateCylinderMap


Header: AVL.h
Namespace: avl
Module: Calibration

Creates a spatial map for transformations from a cylinder surface to a flat rectangle.

Applications: Inspection of the surface of bottles and other cylindrical objects. The result is used by RemapImage.

Syntax

C++
C#
 
void avl::CreateCylinderMap
(
	const avl::ImageFormat& inImageFormat,
	const avl::Rectangle2D& inCylinderRectangle,
	const float inCylinderRadiusCorrection,
	atl::Optional<avl::Point2D> inOpticalAxis,
	atl::Optional<int> inNewWidth,
	atl::Optional<int> inNewHeight,

Parameters

Input value inImageFormat const ImageFormat& Information about dimensions, depth and pixel type of the image
Input value inCylinderRectangle const Rectangle2D& Bounding rectangle of the cylinder
Input value inCylinderRadiusCorrection const float 0.0 - 0.0f How many pixels the cylinder radius is larger than the visible circle radius
Input value inOpticalAxis Optional<Point2D> NIL Coordinates of the camera optical axis (Auto = image center)
Input value inNewWidth Optional<int> 1 - NIL Width of an image created by output spatial map application
Input value inNewHeight Optional<int> 1 - NIL Height of an image created by output spatial map application
Input value inMargin const int 0 - 0 Width of the cylinder extreme points zone excluded from spatial map
Input value inInterpolationMethod InterpolationMethod::Type Bilinear Interpolation method used in extraction of image pixel values
Input value inCylinderMappingMode CylinderMappingMode::Type Determines which pixels of the mapped cylinder have to be within the given rectangle.
Output value outSpatialMap SpatialMap& Output spatial map
Output value outOutputRegion Optional<Region&> NIL Pixels set by the spatial map application

Optional Outputs

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

Description

The filter creates a spatial map that allows to transform a cylinder surface to a flat rectangle. The inCylinderRectangle should be the minimal rectangle that contains the given cylinder. Because of the presence of a camera, the cylinder radius is not equal to but greater than the width of the input rectangle. To compensate the difference, inCylinderRadiusCorrection has to be properly set experimentally. Another important parameter is the inOpticalAxis input that represents the coordinates of the camera optical axis, i.e. it shows which pixel is directly under the camera. It is set to the input image center by default.

Examples

Results of applying RemapImage with a spatial map created with the CreateCylinderMap filter.

Hardware Acceleration

This operation supports automatic parallelization for multicore and multiprocessor systems.
