circularitycircularityCircularityCircularity (Operator)

Name

circularitycircularityCircularityCircularity — Shape factor for the circularity (similarity to a circle) of a region.

Signature

circularity(Regions : : : Circularity)

Herror circularity(const Hobject Regions, double* Circularity)

Herror T_circularity(const Hobject Regions, Htuple* Circularity)

void Circularity(const HObject& Regions, HTuple* Circularity)

HTuple HRegion::Circularity() const

static void HOperatorSet.Circularity(HObject regions, out HTuple circularity)

HTuple HRegion.Circularity()

Description

The operator circularitycircularityCircularityCircularityCircularity calculates the similarity of the input region with a circle.

Calculation:

If F is the area of the region and max is the maximum distance from the center to all contour pixels, the shape factor C is defined as:

C = min(1,C')

The shape factor C of a circle is 1. If the region is long or has holes, C is smaller than 1. The operator circularitycircularityCircularityCircularityCircularity especially responds to large bulges, holes and unconnected regions. The value of C is clipped to 1.0, because the pixel area of a region can only be an approximation of a real circle's area. This approximation error is bigger for small regions than for large regions.

In the documentation of this chapter (Regions / Features), you can find an image illustrating regions which vary in their circularity.

In case of an empty region the operator circularitycircularityCircularityCircularityCircularity returns the value 0 (if no other behavior was set (see set_systemset_systemSetSystemSetSystemSetSystem)). If more than one region is passed the numerical values of the shape factor are stored in a tuple, the position of a value in the tuple corresponding to the position of the region in the input tuple.

Result

The operator circularitycircularityCircularityCircularityCircularity 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 (the region is the empty set) 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.
