tb_euclidean_cluster — 2D typed op

• Data kinds: points → volume

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

tb_euclidean_cluster: 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.*

*Knob a does not change the output (measured: identical at 0.1 / 0.5 / 0.9).*

*Knob b does not change the output (measured: identical at 0.1 / 0.5 / 0.9).*

Usage

Distance-based clustering via the connected components of a proximity graph with radius tol (-1 = noise).

Points within tol of each other are (transitively) bundled into the same cluster. Spatially separate objects become separate clusters (used, after ground removal, to separate "which blob is a graspable object"). Connected components smaller than min_size are noise, -1. Labels are 0,1,2,... in descending order of cluster size (deterministic).

Args:

points: (N,3) point cloud.

tol: proximity radius for the same cluster (a distance, must be > 0).

min_size: connected components smaller than this are noise (-1).

Returns:

labels: (N,) int. 0..(n_clusters-1) are clusters, -1 is noise. Empty input gives shape (0,).

The 3d op euclidean_cluster bridged into the 2-D evolution registry. The implementation is the same; only the calling convention is adapted to op(v, a, b). a sweeps min_size (default 10). b is unused.

References (sample data, literature)

• Sample-data catalog (download URLs / licences) — 2-D uses skimage.data (BSD/public domain) plus synthetic images; 3-D lists download URLs for real data sources (Stanford, PDS, …).

• Operator provenance and references — the sources of the research/methods this op family came from.

Try it in Studio

The program below has been verified to run (same input as the figure). In Studio's help this block becomes buttons that load and run it on the spot.

Runnable examples (verified samples that actually call this op)

The examples below call the underlying ledger op euclidean_cluster. This bridge op is the same implementation adapted to the fn(v, a, b) convention, so the behaviour carries over unchanged (only the call form differs).
