xg_orientation — 2D xldgeom op

Data kinds: contourfeature

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

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

*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

Principal-axis orientation in degrees, folded to [0,180) and /180 scaled.

Angle is measured from the +x (column) axis; multiply the result by 180 to

recover degrees. Line orientation is defined mod 180, so a line at theta and

theta+180 map to the same value.

Discontinuity (inherent, documented): a line orientation lives on a circle of

180 degrees, and this op unrolls it to [0, 1), so the wrap sits at HORIZONTAL —

a line tilted +0.001 deg returns ~0.0 while -0.001 deg returns ~0.9999. Any

single-scalar unrolling has a seam somewhere; callers that need continuity

across horizontal should compare orientations on the doubled angle

(cos 2*theta, sin 2*theta) or take the difference mod 1. The closing point of a

closed contour is not double-counted in the PCA.
