tb_quat_norm — 2D typed op

Data kinds: qimageimage

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

Usage

Per-pixel quaternion modulus `|q| = sqrt(w^2+x^2+y^2+z^2)`. → (H, W).

Raw / unnormalised, following `complexops.cx_magnitude`: a modulus is a

metric quantity and routinely exceeds one (a QFT spectrum's DC term is huge).

For a colour quaternion it is the colour *magnitude* — the length of the RGB

vector, i.e. luminance in the L2 sense; for a monogenic signal it is the

local amplitude and :func:monogenic_amplitude is the name that says so.

Use `imgio.normalize` for a displayable view.

Typed bridge of the quat op `quat_norm into the 2-D evolution registry: the same implementation, called under the op(v, a, b) convention. This op has no tunable parameter; a and b` are unused.
