roundnessroundnessRoundnessRoundness (Operator)

Name

roundnessroundnessRoundnessRoundness — Shape factors from contour.

Signature

Description

The operator roundnessroundnessRoundnessRoundnessRoundness examines the distance between the contour and the center of the area. In particular the mean distance (DistanceDistanceDistanceDistancedistance), the deviation from the mean distance (SigmaSigmaSigmaSigmasigma) and two shape features derived therefrom are determined. RoundnessRoundnessRoundnessRoundnessroundness is the relation between mean value and standard deviation, and SidesSidesSidesSidessides indicates the number of polygon pieces if a regular polygon is concerned.

In the documentation of this chapter (Regions / Features), you can find an image illustrating regions which vary in their mean distance, distance deviation, roundness and number of polygon pieces.

The contour for calculating the features is determined depending on the global neighborhood (see set_systemset_systemSetSystemSetSystemSetSystem).

Calculation:

If p is the center of the area, the pixels and F the area of the contour.

If more than one region is passed the results are stored in tuples, the index of a value in the tuple corresponding to the index of a region in the input.

In case of empty region all parameters have the value 0.0 if no other behavior was set (see set_systemset_systemSetSystemSetSystemSetSystem).

Execution Information

• Multithreading type: reentrant (runs in parallel with non-exclusive operators).
• Multithreading scope: global (may be called from any thread).
• Automatically parallelized on tuple level.

Parameters

Complexity

If F is the area of a region the mean runtime complexity is O(sqrt(F)).

Result

The operator roundnessroundnessRoundnessRoundnessRoundness returns the value 2 (H_MSG_TRUE) if the input is not empty. The behavior in case of empty input (no input regions available) is set via the operator set_system('no_object_result',<Result>)set_system("no_object_result",<Result>)SetSystem("no_object_result",<Result>)SetSystem("no_object_result",<Result>)SetSystem("no_object_result",<Result>), the behavior in case of empty region is set via set_system('empty_region_result',<Result>)set_system("empty_region_result",<Result>)SetSystem("empty_region_result",<Result>)SetSystem("empty_region_result",<Result>)SetSystem("empty_region_result",<Result>). If necessary an exception is raised.
