Constructor Detail

MorphologicalThinningStrategy

public MorphologicalThinningStrategy()

MorphologicalThinningStrategy

public MorphologicalThinningStrategy(boolean foreground)

Create a new morphological thinning strategy. The passed boolean will represent the foreground-value of the image.

Parameters:

foreground - Value determining the boolean value of foreground pixels.

Method Detail

removePixel

public boolean removePixel(long[] position,
                           RandomAccessible<BitType> accessible,
                           int iteration)

Description copied from interface: ThinningStrategy

This method should determine whether to keep a foreground pixel or not.

Parameters:

position - Long Array containing the current position in the image.

accessible - The image to thin.

iteration - The iteration number.

Returns:

True if pixel can be switched to background, false otherwise.

getIterationsPerCycle

public int getIterationsPerCycle()

Description copied from interface: ThinningStrategy

Returns the minimum number of iterations necessary for the algorithm to run. This delays termination of the thinning algorithm until the end of the current cycle. If, for example, no changes occur during the second iteration of a 4-iteration-cycle, iterations 3 and 4 still take place.

Specified by:

getIterationsPerCycle in interface ThinningStrategy

Overrides:

getIterationsPerCycle in class Abstract3x3NeighbourhoodThinning

Returns:

The number of iterations per cycle.

copy

public ThinningStrategy copy()

Description copied from interface: ThinningStrategy

Returns a separate copy of this strategy.

Returns:

A new instance of this strategy with the same values.
