Parameters

Name Type Range Default Description
inImageFilNet.ImageInput image.
inScanMapFilNet.ScanMapData precomputed with CreateScanMap.
inEdgeScanParamsFilNet.EdgeScanParamsParameters controlling the edge extraction process.
inEdgeCountint<0, INF>1Number of edges to be found. Default value: 1.
inEdgeSelectionFilNet.Selectionfil::Selection::BestSelection mode of the resulting edges. Default value: fil::Selection::Best.
inMinDistancefloat<0.0f, INF>0.0fMinimal distance between consecutive edges. Default value: 0.0f.
outEdgesFilNet.INullable<System.Collections.Generic.List<FilNet.Edge1D>>Found edges.
outGapsFilNet.INullable<System.Collections.Generic.List<FilNet.Gap1D>>Gaps between consecutive edges.
diagBrightnessProfileFilNet.ProfileExtracted image profile.
diagResponseProfileFilNet.ProfileProfile of the edge (derivative) operator response.

Description

The operation scans the image using inScanMap previously generated from a scan path and finds a set of inEdgeCount image edges perpendicular to the path. If no subset (of inEdgeCount elements) of detected edges meets the requirements of inEdgeScanParams.minMagnitude, inMinDistance, inEdgeScanParams.edgeTransition then the outputs are set to NIL.

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 (inEdgeCount = 61).
