F_VN_MatchContoursExp

F_VN_MatchContoursExp 1:

Compare contours using the Hu moment invariants (and optionally further aspects). In case of multiple contours in each container, the best matches are found and the average dissimilarity over all matched contours is returned. (expert function)

F_VN_MatchContoursExp 2: Inputs

Name

Type

Description

ipContour1

ITcVnContainer

First contour (ContainerType_Vector_TcVnPoint2_DINT or ContainerType_Vector_TcVnPoint2_REAL; The elements of this container are the points of the contour) or collection of multiple contours (ContainerType_Vector_Vector_TcVnPoint2_DINT)

ipContour2

ITcVnContainer

Second contour (same type as ipContour1)

eComparisonMethod

ETcVnContoursMatchComparisonMethod

Method used for comparing the Hu moment invariants of the contours

fAreaFactor

LREAL

If > 0, the relative area difference between contours is scaled by this factor and added to the computed dissimilarity

fAbsPositionFactor

LREAL

If > 0, the absolute position difference between contours (i.e. the coordinates of the geometric contour centers) is scaled by this factor and added to the computed dissimilarity

fRelPositionFactor

LREAL

If > 0, the relative position difference between contours is scaled by this factor and added to the computed dissimilarity (only used if matching multiple contours)

fNumDiffFactor

LREAL

If > 0, the difference between the number of contours in both containers is scaled by this factor and added to the computed dissimilarity (only used if matching multiple contours)

hrPrev

HRESULT

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