[mmSkelmrec] [Up] [mmHomothick] Intervals (hit-or-miss templates)

mmEndpoints
Interval to detect end-points.

Synopsis

Interval mmEndpoints ( const String& OPTION = "LOOP" );

Input

OPTION String

'LOOP' or 'HOMOTOPIC'

Default: "LOOP"

Output

Iab Interval

Description

mmEndpoints creates an interval that is useful to detect end-points of curves (i.e., one pixel thick connected components) in binary images. It can be used to prune skeletons and to mark objects transforming them in a single pixel or closed loops if they have holes. There are two options available: LOOP, deletes all points but preserves loops if used in mmThin ; HOMOTOPIC, deletes all points but preserves the last single point or loops.
