NAME

6       PDL::Image2D - Miscellaneous 2D image processing functions
7

DESCRIPTION

9       Miscellaneous 2D image processing functions - for want of anywhere else
10       to put them.
11

SYNOPSIS

13        use PDL::Image2D;
14

FUNCTIONS

16   conv2d
17         Signature: (a(m,n); kern(p,q); [o]b(m,n); int opt)
18
19       2D convolution of an array with a kernel (smoothing)
20
21       For large kernels, using a FFT routine, such as fftconvolve() in
22       "PDL::FFT", will be quicker.
23
24        $new = conv2d $old, $kernel, {OPTIONS}
25
26        $smoothed = conv2d $image, ones(3,3), {Boundary => Reflect}
27
28        Boundary - controls what values are assumed for the image when kernel
29                   crosses its edge:
30                   => Default  - periodic boundary conditions
31                                 (i.e. wrap around axis)
32                   => Reflect  - reflect at boundary
33                   => Truncate - truncate at boundary
34
35       Unlike the FFT routines, conv2d is able to process bad values.
36
37   med2d
38         Signature: (a(m,n); kern(p,q); [o]b(m,n); int opt)
39
40       2D median-convolution of an array with a kernel (smoothing)
41
42       Note: only points in the kernel >0 are included in the median, other
43       points are weighted by the kernel value (medianing lots of zeroes is
44       rather pointless)
45
46        $new = med2d $old, $kernel, {OPTIONS}
47
48        $smoothed = med2d $image, ones(3,3), {Boundary => Reflect}
49
50        Boundary - controls what values are assumed for the image when kernel
51                   crosses its edge:
52                   => Default  - periodic boundary conditions (i.e. wrap around axis)
53                   => Reflect  - reflect at boundary
54                   => Truncate - truncate at boundary
55
56       Bad values are ignored in the calculation. If all elements within the
57       kernel are bad, the output is set bad.
58
59   med2df
60         Signature: (a(m,n); [o]b(m,n); int __p_size; int __q_size; int opt)
61
62       2D median-convolution of an array in a pxq window (smoothing)
63
64       Note: this routine does the median over all points in a rectangular
65             window and is not quite as flexible as "med2d" in this regard
66             but slightly faster instead
67
68        $new = med2df $old, $xwidth, $ywidth, {OPTIONS}
69
70        $smoothed = med2df $image, 3, 3, {Boundary => Reflect}
71
72        Boundary - controls what values are assumed for the image when kernel
73                   crosses its edge:
74                   => Default  - periodic boundary conditions (i.e. wrap around axis)
75                   => Reflect  - reflect at boundary
76                   => Truncate - truncate at boundary
77
78       med2df does not process bad values.  It will set the bad-value flag of
79       all output piddles if the flag is set for any of the input piddles.
80
81   box2d
82         Signature: (a(n,m); [o] b(n,m); int wx; int wy; int edgezero)
83
84       fast 2D boxcar average
85
86         $smoothim = $im->box2d($wx,$wy,$edgezero=1);
87
88       The edgezero argument controls if edge is set to zero (edgezero=1) or
89       just keeps the original (unfiltered) values.
90
91       "box2d" should be updated to support similar edge options as "conv2d"
92       and "med2d" etc.
93
94       Boxcar averaging is a pretty crude way of filtering. For serious stuff
95       better filters are around (e.g., use conv2d with the appropriate
96       kernel). On the other hand it is fast and computational cost grows only
97       approximately linearly with window size.
98
99       box2d does not process bad values.  It will set the bad-value flag of
100       all output piddles if the flag is set for any of the input piddles.
101
102   patch2d
103         Signature: (a(m,n); int bad(m,n); [o]b(m,n))
104
105       patch bad pixels out of 2D images using a mask
106
107        $patched = patch2d $data, $bad;
108
109       $bad is a 2D mask array where 1=bad pixel 0=good pixel.  Pixels are
110       replaced by the average of their non-bad neighbours; if all neighbours
111       are bad, the original data value is copied across.
112
113       This routine does not handle bad values - use patchbad2d instead
114
115   patchbad2d
116         Signature: (a(m,n); [o]b(m,n))
117
118       patch bad pixels out of 2D images containing bad values
119
120        $patched = patchbad2d $data;
121
122       Pixels are replaced by the average of their non-bad neighbours; if all
123       neighbours are bad, the output is set bad.  If the input piddle
124       contains no bad values, then a straight copy is performed (see
125       patch2d).
126
127       patchbad2d handles bad values. The output piddle may contain bad
128       values, depending on the pattern of bad values in the input piddle.
129
130   max2d_ind
131         Signature: (a(m,n); [o]val(); int [o]x(); int[o]y())
132
133       Return value/position of maximum value in 2D image
134
135       Contributed by Tim Jeness
136
137       Bad values are excluded from the search. If all pixels are bad then the
138       output is set bad.
139
140   centroid2d
141         Signature: (im(m,n); x(); y(); box(); [o]xcen(); [o]ycen())
142
143       Refine a list of object positions in 2D image by centroiding in a box
144
145       $box is the full-width of the box, i.e. the window is "+/- $box/2".
146
147       Bad pixels are excluded from the centroid calculation. If all elements
148       are bad (or the pixel sum is 0 - but why would you be centroiding
149       something with negatives in...) then the output values are set bad.
150
151   cc8compt
152         Signature: (a(m,n); [o]b(m,n))
153
154       Connected 8-component labeling of a binary image.
155
156       Connected 8-component labeling of 0,1 image - i.e. find seperate
157       segmented objects and fill object pixels with object number
158
159        $segmented = cc8compt( $image > $threshold );
160
161       cc8compt ignores the bad-value flag of the input piddles.  It will set
162       the bad-value flag of all output piddles if the flag is set for any of
163       the input piddles.
164
165   polyfill
166         Signature: (int [o,nc] im(m,n); float ps(two=2,np); int col())
167
168       fill the area inside the given polygon with a given colour
169
170       This function works inplace, i.e. modifies "im".
171
172       polyfill ignores the bad-value flag of the input piddles.  It will set
173       the bad-value flag of all output piddles if the flag is set for any of
174       the input piddles.
175
176   polyfillv
177       return the (dataflown) area of an image within a polygon
178
179         # increment intensity in area bounded by $poly
180         $im->polyfillv($pol)++; # legal in perl >= 5.6
181         # compute average intensity within area bounded by $poly
182         $av = $im->polyfillv($poly)->avg;
183
184   rot2d
185         Signature: (im(m,n); float angle(); bg(); int aa(); [o] om(p,q))
186
187       rotate an image by given "angle"
188
189         # rotate by 10.5 degrees with antialiasing, set missing values to 7
190         $rot = $im->rot2d(10.5,7,1);
191
192       This function rotates an image through an "angle" between -90 and + 90
193       degrees. Uses/doesn't use antialiasing depending on the "aa" flag.
194       Pixels outside the rotated image are set to "bg".
195
196       Code modified from pnmrotate (Copyright Jef Poskanzer) with an
197       algorithm based on "A Fast Algorithm for General  Raster  Rotation"  by
198       Alan Paeth, Graphics Interface '86, pp. 77-81.
199
200       Use the "rotnewsz" function to find out about the dimension of the
201       newly created image
202
203         ($newcols,$newrows) = rotnewsz $oldn, $oldm, $angle;
204
205       PDL::Transform offers a more general interface to distortions,
206       including rotation, with various types of sampling; but rot2d is
207       faster.
208
209       rot2d ignores the bad-value flag of the input piddles.  It will set the
210       bad-value flag of all output piddles if the flag is set for any of the
211       input piddles.
212
213   bilin2d
214         Signature: (I(n,m); O(q,p))
215
216       Bilinearly maps the first piddle in the second. The interpolated values
217       are actually added to the second piddle which is supposed to be larger
218       than the first one.
219
220       bilin2d ignores the bad-value flag of the input piddles.  It will set
221       the bad-value flag of all output piddles if the flag is set for any of
222       the input piddles.
223
224   rescale2d
225         Signature: (I(m,n); O(p,q))
226
227       The first piddle is rescaled to the dimensions of the second (expanding
228       or meaning values as needed) and then added to it in place.  Nothing
229       useful is returned.
230
231       If you want photometric accuracy or automatic FITS header metadata
232       tracking, consider using PDL::Transform::map instead: it does these
233       things, at some speed penalty compared to rescale2d.
234
235       rescale2d ignores the bad-value flag of the input piddles.  It will set
236       the bad-value flag of all output piddles if the flag is set for any of
237       the input piddles.
238
239   fitwarp2d
240       Find the best-fit 2D polynomial to describe a coordinate
241       transformation.
242
243         ( $px, $py ) = fitwarp2d( $x, $y, $u, $v, $nf. { options } )
244
245       Given a set of points in the output plane ("$u,$v"), find the best-fit
246       (using singular-value decomposition) 2D polynomial to describe the
247       mapping back to the image plane ("$x,$y").  The order of the fit is
248       controlled by the $nf parameter (the maximum power of the polynomial is
249       "$nf - 1"), and you can restrict the terms to fit using the "FIT"
250       option.
251
252       $px and $py are "np" by "np" element piddles which describe a
253       polynomial mapping (of order "np-1") from the output "(u,v)" image to
254       the input "(x,y)" image:
255
256         x = sum(j=0,np-1) sum(i=0,np-1) px(i,j) * u^i * v^j
257         y = sum(j=0,np-1) sum(i=0,np-1) py(i,j) * u^i * v^j
258
259       The transformation is returned for the reverse direction (ie output to
260       input image) since that is what is required by the warp2d() routine.
261       The applywarp2d() routine can be used to convert a set of "$u,$v"
262       points given $px and $py.
263
264       Options:
265
266         FIT     - which terms to fit? default ones(byte,$nf,$nf)
267         THRESH  - in svd, remove terms smaller than THRESH * max value
268                   default is 1.0e-5
269
270       FIT "FIT" allows you to restrict which terms of the polynomial to fit:
271           only those terms for which the FIT piddle evaluates to true will be
272           evaluated.  If a 2D piddle is sent in, then it is used for the x
273           and y polynomials; otherwise "$fit->slice(":,:,(0)")" will be used
274           for $px and "$fit->slice(":,:,(1)")" will be used for $py.
275
276       THRESH
277           Remove all singular values whose valus is less than "THRESH" times
278           the largest singular value.
279
280       The number of points must be at least equal to the number of terms to
281       fit ("$nf*$nf" points for the default value of "FIT").
282
283         # points in original image
284         $x = pdl( 0,   0, 100, 100 );
285         $y = pdl( 0, 100, 100,   0 );
286         # get warped to these positions
287         $u = pdl( 10, 10, 90, 90 );
288         $v = pdl( 10, 90, 90, 10 );
289         #
290         # shift of origin + scale x/y axis only
291         $fit = byte( [ [1,1], [0,0] ], [ [1,0], [1,0] ] );
292         ( $px, $py ) = fitwarp2d( $x, $y, $u, $v, 2, { FIT => $fit } );
293         print "px = ${px}py = $py";
294         px =
295         [
296          [-12.5  1.25]
297          [    0     0]
298         ]
299         py =
300         [
301          [-12.5     0]
302          [ 1.25     0]
303         ]
304         #
305         # Compared to allowing all 4 terms
306         ( $px, $py ) = fitwarp2d( $x, $y, $u, $v, 2 );
307         print "px = ${px}py = $py";
308         px =
309         [
310          [         -12.5           1.25]
311          [  1.110223e-16 -1.1275703e-17]
312         ]
313         py =
314         [
315          [         -12.5  1.6653345e-16]
316          [          1.25 -5.8546917e-18]
317         ]
318
319   applywarp2d
320       Transform a set of points using a 2-D polynomial mapping
321
322         ( $x, $y ) = applywarp2d( $px, $py, $u, $v )
323
324       Convert a set of points (stored in 1D piddles "$u,$v") to "$x,$y" using
325       the 2-D polynomial with coefficients stored in $px and $py.  See
326       fitwarp2d() for more information on the format of $px and $py.
327
328   warp2d
329         Signature: (img(m,n); double px(np,np); double py(np,np); [o] warp(m,n); { options })
330
331       Warp a 2D image given a polynomial describing the reverse mapping.
332
333         $out = warp2d( $img, $px, $py, { options } );
334
335       Apply the polynomial transformation encoded in the $px and $py piddles
336       to warp the input image $img into the output image $out.
337
338       The format for the polynomial transformation is described in the
339       documentation for the fitwarp2d() routine.
340
341       At each point "x,y", the closest 16 pixel values are combined with an
342       interpolation kernel to calculate the value at "u,v".  The
343       interpolation is therefore done in the image, rather than Fourier,
344       domain.  By default, a "tanh" kernel is used, but this can be changed
345       using the "KERNEL" option discussed below (the choice of kernel depends
346       on the frequency content of the input image).
347
348       The routine is based on the "warping" command from the Eclipse data-
349       reduction package - see http://www.eso.org/eclipse/ - and for further
350       details on image resampling see Wolberg, G., "Digital Image Warping",
351       1990, IEEE Computer Society Press ISBN 0-8186-8944-7).
352
353       Currently the output image is the same size as the input one, which
354       means data will be lost if the transformation reduces the pixel scale.
355       This will (hopefully) be changed soon.
356
357         $img = rvals(byte,501,501);
358         imag $img, { JUSTIFY => 1 };
359         #
360         # use a not-particularly-obvious transformation:
361         #   x = -10 + 0.5 * $u - 0.1 * $v
362         #   y = -20 + $v - 0.002 * $u * $v
363         #
364         $px  = pdl( [ -10, 0.5 ], [ -0.1, 0 ] );
365         $py  = pdl( [ -20, 0 ], [ 1, 0.002 ] );
366         $wrp = warp2d( $img, $px, $py );
367         #
368         # see the warped image
369         imag $warp, { JUSTIFY => 1 };
370
371       The options are:
372
373         KERNEL - default value is tanh
374         NOVAL  - default value is 0
375
376       "KERNEL" is used to specify which interpolation kernel to use (to see
377       what these kernels look like, use the warp2d_kernel() routine).  The
378       options are:
379
380       tanh
381           Hyperbolic tangent: the approximation of an ideal box filter by the
382           product of symmetric tanh functions.
383
384       sinc
385           For a correctly sampled signal, the ideal filter in the fourier
386           domain is a rectangle, which produces a "sinc" interpolation kernel
387           in the spatial domain:
388
389             sinc(x) = sin(pi * x) / (pi * x)
390
391           However, it is not ideal for the "4x4" pixel region used here.
392
393       sinc2
394           This is the square of the sinc function.
395
396       lanczos
397           Although defined differently to the "tanh" kernel, the result is
398           very similar in the spatial domain.  The Lanczos function is
399           defined as

401             L(x) = sinc(x) * sinc(x/2)  if abs(x) < 2

404       hann
405           This kernel is derived from the following function:
406
407             H(x) = a + (1-a) * cos(2*pi*x/(N-1))  if abs(x) < 0.5*(N-1)
408                  = 0                                 otherwise
409
410           with "a = 0.5" and N currently equal to 2001.
411
412       hamming
413           This kernel uses the same H(x) as the Hann filter, but with "a =
414           0.54".
415
416       "NOVAL" gives the value used to indicate that a pixel in the output
417       image does not map onto one in the input image.
418
419   warp2d_kernel
420       Return the specified kernel, as used by warp2d
421
422         ( $x, $k ) = warp2d_kernel( $name )
423
424       The valid values for $name are the same as the "KERNEL" option of
425       warp2d().
