RegionBoundaries


Header: FIL.h
Namespace: fil
Module: FoundationBasic

Removes interior pixels from a region.

Syntax

C++
C#
 
void fil::RegionBoundaries
(
	const fil::Region& inRegion,
	fil::RegionConnectivity::Type inConnectivity,
	fil::Region& outRegion
)

Parameters

Name Type Default Description
Input value inRegion const Region& Input region
Input value inConnectivity RegionConnectivity::Type Type of connectivity used for the region foreground
Output value outRegion Region& Output region

Description

The operation removes all internal pixels from the region (thus leaving only the boundary pixels). The definition of internal pixel depends on the inConnectivity value:

  • If inConnectivity is set to Four directions, internal pixels are those having neighbours in all four major directions (up, down, left, right) also contained in the region
  • If inConnectivity is set to Eight directions, internal pixels are those having neighbours in all eight directions (four major + four diagonal) also contained in the region

Examples

RegionBoundaries run on a sample region.
