cv_min_eigen — 2D edges op

Data kinds: imageimage

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

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

Usage

Corner strength via the minimum eigenvalue (Shi-Tomasi family, OpenCV implementation). Returns the smaller of the two eigenvalues of the gradient structure tensor - unlike Harris, there is no weighting (dependent on k), making it a more direct measure of "good feature point"-ness (the same kind of criterion used internally by cv_good_features).

> The detailed description below is the original text — the summary and the headings are translated.

HALCON の points_harris に相当(近似。アルゴリズムは別物)。実装は `cv2.cornerMinEigenVal(v, blockSize=3+2*int(a*2))` を正規化したもの —— a は評価に使う近傍サイズ(blockSize)を 3, 5, 7 に振る。b は未使用。
