F_VN_MeasureEdgeDistance 2: Inputs

Name

Type

Description

ipSrcImage

ITcVnImage

Source image (1 channel)

eEdgeDirection

ETcVnEdgeDirection

Specification of the edge direction from aStartPoint to aEndPoint to search for

fMinStrength

REAL

Specification of the minimum strength (intensity difference) of the edge to search for

nSearchLines

UDINT

Width of the search window, i.e. the number of search lines (1, 3, 5, 7, ...), centered around the line specified by aStartPoint and aEndPoint

hrPrev

HRESULT

HRESULT indicating the result of previous operations (If SUCCEEDED(hrPrev) equals false, no operation is executed.)

F_VN_MeasureEdgeDistance 3: In/Outputs

Name

Type

Description

fAvgDistance

REAL

Returns the average distance between the detected edges

aStartPoint

TcVnPoint2_REAL

Position from which to start the search process (in the direction of aEndPoint)

aEndPoint

TcVnPoint2_REAL

Position where the search process ends

F_VN_MeasureEdgeDistance 4: Return value

HRESULT

Weiterführende Informationen

Die Funktion F_VN_MeasureEdgeDistance lokalisiert zwei lineare Kanten und misst den durchschnittlichen Abstand zwischen ihnen.

Parameter

Eingangsbild

Das Eingangsbild ipSrcImage muss ein 1-kanaliges Grauwertbild sein.

Minimaler Abstand (Rückgabewert)

Der Parameter fAvgDistance gibt des minimalen Abstand der beiden lokalisierten Kanten zurück.

Parameter zur Kantenlokalisierung

Die restlichen Parameter sind ausführlich im Kapitel Kantenlokalisierung erklärt.

Expert-Parameter

Die Expert-Variante F_VN_MeasureEdgeDistanceExp enthält zusätzliche Parameter.

Anwendung

Die Vermessung einer Kantendistanz sieht z. B. so aus:

hr := F_VN_MeasureEdgeDistance(
    ipSrcImage             :=   ipImageIn,
    fAvgDistance           :=   fDistance
    aStartPoint            :=   aStartPoint,
    aEndPoint              :=   aEndPoint,
    eEdgeDirection         :=   TCVN_ED_LIGHT_TO_DARK,
    fMinStrength           :=   fMinStrength,
    nSearchLines           :=   nSearchLines,
    hrPrev                 :=   hr
);
