Description

regiongrowing_nregiongrowing_nRegiongrowingNRegiongrowingNRegiongrowingNregiongrowing_n performs a multi-channel regiongrowing. The channels give rise to an n-dimensional feature vector. Neighboring points are aggregated into the same region if the difference of their feature vectors with respect to the given metric lies in the interval [MinToleranceMinToleranceMinToleranceMinToleranceminTolerancemin_tolerance, MaxToleranceMaxToleranceMaxToleranceMaxTolerancemaxTolerancemax_tolerance]. Only neighbors of the 4-neighborhood are examined. The following metrics can be used:

Let denote the gray value in the feature vector at point of the image, and likewise be the gray value in the feature vector at point a neighboring point . Let be the gray value with index . Furthermore, let denote MinToleranceMinToleranceMinToleranceMinToleranceminTolerancemin_tolerance and denote MaxToleranceMaxToleranceMaxToleranceMaxTolerancemaxTolerancemax_tolerance.

Result

regiongrowing_nregiongrowing_nRegiongrowingNRegiongrowingNRegiongrowingNregiongrowing_n returns 2 ( H_MSG_TRUE) if all parameters are correct. The behavior with respect to the input images and output regions can be determined by setting the values of the flags 'no_object_result'"no_object_result""no_object_result""no_object_result""no_object_result""no_object_result", 'empty_region_result'"empty_region_result""empty_region_result""empty_region_result""empty_region_result""empty_region_result", and 'store_empty_region'"store_empty_region""store_empty_region""store_empty_region""store_empty_region""store_empty_region" with set_systemset_systemSetSystemSetSystemSetSystemset_system. If necessary, an exception is raised.
