tac_pressure_proxy — 2D tactile op

Data kinds: imageimage

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

Usage

Contact-pressure proxy map: the rectified deviation from the pseudo-reference background `dev = |v - G_sigma(v)| is gated to the high-deviation (contact) area -- a relative gate at 0.15 * max(dev) plus an absolute floor of 0.005 -- amplified by the sensitivity gain and Gaussian-smoothed, which is the standard "indentation depth is monotone in normal force" surrogate used when a tactile pad carries no force sensor. a = sensitivity (gain 1..10x), b` = smoothing radius (sigma 0.5..4.5). Output clipped to [0,1], HxW; a flat frame yields an all-zero pressure map (no contact, no force).
