vtkSubPixelPositionEdgels

Section: Visualization Toolkit Graphics Classes

Usage

vtkSubPixelPositionEdgels is a filter that takes a series of linked edgels (digital curves) and gradient maps as input. It then adjusts the edgel locations based on the gradient data. Specifically, the algorithm first determines the neighboring gradient magnitudes of an edgel using simple interpolation of its neighbors. It then fits the following three data points: negative gradient direction gradient magnitude, edgel gradient magnitude and positive gradient direction gradient magnitude to a quadratic function. It then solves this quadratic to find the maximum gradient location along the gradient orientation. It then modifies the edgels location along the gradient orientation to the calculated maximum location. This algorithm does not adjust an edgel in the direction orthogonal to its gradient vector.

To create an instance of class vtkSubPixelPositionEdgels, simply invoke its constructor as follows 

  obj = vtkSubPixelPositionEdgels
