remove_small — 2D region op

Data kinds: regionregion

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

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

remove_small: 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

Removes small connected regions based on area. Equivalent to HALCON's `select_shape` (Choose regions with the aid of shape features.).

`a が除去のしきい値(画素数)を、画像全体の画素数に対する割合 0.01〜0.16(0.01+0.15a) * 画素数)として振る。b は未使用。しきい値以上の面積を持つ連結成分だけを残す。連結性は scipy label` の既定(4連結)。
