eccentricity_xld — Shape features derived from the ellipse parameters of contours or polygons.
eccentricity_xld(XLD : : : Anisometry, Bulkiness, StructureFactor)
The operator eccentricity_xld calculates the three shape features Anisometry, Bulkiness, and StructureFactor derived from the geometric moments for each input contour or polygon. If the input contour or polygon is not closed it will be closed automatically.
Calculation: If the ellipse radii Ra, Rb (elliptic_axis_xld) and the enclosed area A of the contour or polygon are given, the following applies:
It should be noted that eccentricity_xld only returns useful results if the contour or polygon encloses a region in the plane. In particular, the contour or polygon must not intersect itself. This is particularly important if open contours or polygons are passed because they are closed automatically, which can produce a self-intersection. To test whether the contours or polygons intersect themselves, test_self_intersection_xld can be used. If the contour or polygon intersects itself, a useful value for the anisometry can be calculated with eccentricity_points_xld.
If more than one contour is passed the results are stored in tuples, the index of a value in the tuple corresponding to the index of a contour in the input.
Contours or polygons to be examined.
Anisometry of the contours or polygons.
Assertion: Anisometry >= 1.0
Bulkiness of the contours or polygons.
Structure factor of the contours or polygons.
The operator eccentricity_xld returns the value 2 (H_MSG_TRUE) if the input is not empty. The behavior in case of empty input (no input contours available) is set via the operator set_system('no_object_result',<Result>). If necessary an exception is raised.
