label_to_region
— Extract regions with equal gray values from an image.
label_to_region(LabelImage : Regions : : )
label_to_region
segments an image into regions of equal
gray value. One output region is generated for each gray value
occurring in the image. This is similar to calling
threshold
multiple times, and accumulating the results
with concat_obj
. Another related operator is
regiongrowing
. However, label_to_region
does not perform a connection
operation on the resulting
regions, i.e., they may be disconnected. A typical application of
label_to_region
is the segmentation of label images,
hence its name.
The number of output regions is limited by the system parameter 'max_outp_obj_par', which can be read via get_system(::'max_outp_obj_par':<number>) .
label_to_region
is not implemented for images of type
'real'. The input images must not contain negative gray values.
LabelImage
(input_object) singlechannelimage(-array) →
object (byte / int2 / int4 / int8)
Label image.
Regions
(output_object) region-array →
object
Regions having a constant gray value.
Let x1 be the minimum x-coordinate, x2 the maximum x-coordinate, y1 be the minimum y-coordinate, and y2 the maximum y-coordinate of a particular gray value. Furthermore, let N be the number of different gray values in the image. Then the runtime complexity is O(N * (x2 - x1 + 1) * (y2 - y1 + 1))
label_to_region
returns 2 (H_MSG_TRUE) if the gray values lie
within a correct range. The behavior with respect to the input
images and output regions can be determined by setting the values of
the flags 'no_object_result' ,
'empty_region_result' , and 'store_empty_region'
with set_system
. If necessary, an exception is raised.
