vol_crop_domain — 3D domain op

• Data kinds: voxel → voxel

• Call: import fullseye as fs; fs.ledger.vol_crop_domain(vol, domain=None, margin=0) (to call the implementation directly, import volops; volops.vol_crop_domain(vol, domain=None, margin=0); from the registry, ops3d.get("vol_crop_domain"))

• Return value through the ledger: fullseye.ledger.vol_crop_domain(...) returns only the declared out type voxel (the underlying function also returns auxiliary values). When you need what was dropped, use fullseye.ledger.vol_crop_domain.raw(...) or call volops.vol_crop_domain directly.

• Underlying return: (part, offset)

Usage

Crop a volume to the tight bounding box of a domain (HALCON crop_domain).

This is the memory lever of the domain family: a 512**3 CT scan whose part of interest fits in 128**3 costs 64x less memory and compute once cropped — and the Hessian operators (vol_frangi / vol_sato), capped at MAX_EIGEN_VOXELS, often become *possible* only after this step. Gray values inside the box are kept verbatim (the box, not the mask, defines the crop — pair with vol_reduce_domain first if voxels outside the mask but inside the box must read 0).

*domain* defaults to the volume's own non-zero support (vol != 0 — a gray volume is cropped to wherever it has any signal; note this differs from the > 0.5 convention used when an explicit binary *domain* is passed). *margin* is forwarded to vol_bounding_box.

Returns (cropped, offset) — the (d, h, w) float64 sub-volume and the (z0, y0, x0) voxel offset of its origin in the input frame. Keep the

offset: vol_uncrop maps results back, and vol_boundary_points accepts it as *origin* so point coordinates stay in the uncropped frame. An empty domain raises ValueError (fail-closed).
