cv_gradient — 2D morphology op

Data kinds: imageimage

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

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

cv_gradient: 入力 → 出力

*The figure is the real output on a synthetic 128×128 input. Left: input, right: output (a non-image return value is shown as the value itself).*

Usage

Morphological gradient (OpenCV implementation). "Dilation result minus erosion result" extracts only the outline (border) of regions - a contour extraction method distinct from ordinary derivative-based edge detection.

HALCON の gray_range_rect(Determine the gray value range within a rectangle.)に相当(近似。矩形窓内の最大-最小レンジを取る点は同じ発想)。実装は `cv2.morphologyEx(v, MORPH_GRADIENT, se) を正規化したもの、se は楕円形でサイズ 3+2*int(a*3)` —— a は構造要素サイズを 3〜9 に振る。b は未使用。
