Operator Reference
junctions_skeleton (Operator)
junctions_skeleton
— Find junctions and end points in a skeleton.
Signature
junctions_skeleton(Region : EndPoints, JuncPoints : : )
Description
junctions_skeleton
detects junctions and end points in a skeleton (see
skeleton
). The junctions in the input region
Region
are output as a region in JuncPoints
,
while the end points are output as a region in EndPoints
.
To obtain reasonable results with junctions_skeleton
the input
region Region
must not contain lines which are more than one
pixel wide. Regions obtained by skeleton
meet this condition,
while regions obtained by morph_skeleton
do not meet this
condition in general.
Execution Information
- Multithreading type: reentrant (runs in parallel with non-exclusive operators).
- Multithreading scope: global (may be called from any thread).
- Automatically parallelized on tuple level.
Parameters
Region
(input_object) region(-array) →
object
Input skeletons.
EndPoints
(output_object) region(-array) →
object
Extracted end points.
Number of elements: EndPoints == Region
JuncPoints
(output_object) region(-array) →
object
Extracted junctions.
Number of elements: JuncPoints == Region
Example (HDevelop)
* non-connected branches of a skeleton skeleton(Region,Skeleton) junctions_skeleton(Skeleton,EPoints,JPoints) difference(Skeleton,JPoints,Rows) set_system('neighborhood',4) connection(Rows,Parts)
Complexity
Let F be the area of the input region. Then the runtime complexity is O(F).
Result
junctions_skeleton
always returns the value 2 (
H_MSG_TRUE)
. The behavior in
case of empty input (no regions given) can be set via
set_system('no_object_result',<Result>)
,
the behavior in case of an empty input region via
set_system('empty_region_result',<Result>)
,
and the behavior in case of an empty result region via
set_system('store_empty_region',<'true'/'false'>)
.
If necessary, an exception is raised.
