monotony — 2D gray op

Data kinds: imageimage

Call: fullseye.apply(img, "monotony", a=0.5, b=0.5) (the 2-D model is one image plus two scalar knobs a,b∈[0,1])

HALCON equivalent: monotony (the HALCON reference is a useful guide to its meaning and parameters)

monotony: 入力 → 出力

*The figure is the real output on a synthetic 128×128 input. Left: input, right: output (a non-image return value is shown as the value itself).*

Usage

Returns, in [0,1], how large a pixel value ranks among its 8 neighbors (monotony). It counts the number of neighbors smaller than the center and divides by 8, so a value of 1.0 indicates a local maximum where the center exceeds all neighbors, and 0.0 indicates something close to a local minimum. a and b are unused.

エッジの向き(明→暗か暗→明か)を区別できる非対称なエッジ検出に使う。HALCON の `monotony`(単調性演算の計算)に相当。
