hx_rectangle1_domain — 2D halcon_ext op

• Data kinds: image → region

• Call: fullseye.apply(img, "hx_rectangle1_domain", a=0.5, b=0.5) (the 2-D model is one image plus two scalar knobs a,b∈[0,1])

• HALCON equivalent: rectangle1_domain (the HALCON reference is a useful guide to its meaning and parameters)

hx_rectangle1_domain: input → output

*The figure is the actual output on a synthetic 128×128 input. Left: input, right: output. Point clouds are drawn as a top-down scatter (brightness = z), 1-D series as a line plot, volumes as the maximum-intensity projection along z, videos as the middle frame, complex images as magnitude; return values that are not pictures are shown as the values themselves.*

Sweeping knob a (0.1 / 0.5 / 0.9, the other knob at its default):

▸ hx_rectangle1_domain: knob a sweep (docs site)

Sweeping knob b (0.1 / 0.5 / 0.9, the other knob at its default):

▸ hx_rectangle1_domain: knob b sweep (docs site)

On other images (synthetic scene / photo / coins. Top row: inputs, bottom row: their outputs. Knobs at default):

▸ hx_rectangle1_domain: other inputs (docs site)

*The 4th column is a colour (H,W,3) input. This op handles colour without crossing channels (it does not convolve the colour channel as a third spatial axis).*

Usage

Shrink the image's domain to an axis-aligned rectangle (the central a×b fraction), as a region.

Returns a 0/1 float array (region) of the same shape as the input v, in which an axis-parallel rectangle of height hh and width ww placed at the image centre is 1. The input content is not looked at.

• a → height fraction hh = int(h * (0.2 + 0.7*a)) (20% to 90%).

• b → width fraction ww = int(w * (0.2 + 0.7*b)) (20% to 90%).

• The top left is ((h-hh)//2, (w-ww)//2); the offset from the centre is only the integer truncation.

Used to build an ROI that excludes the image periphery (illumination fall-off, lens edges) from inspection. For the whole image, use hx_full_domain; to shave the periphery of an existing region, hx_clip_region_rel.
