LBitmap::GetFeretsDiameter

#include "ltwrappr.h"

static L_INT LBitmap::GetFeretsDiameter (pPoints, uSize, puFeretsDiameter, puFirstIndex, puSecondIndex, uFlags = 0)

POINT * pPoints;

/* pointer to an array of object contour coordinate points */

L_UINT uSize;

/* number of points in the array */

L_UINT * puFeretsDiameter;

/* pointer to a variable to be updated */

/* flags */

Computes the Ferets diameter of an object (the maximum distance between the points of the perimeter of the region), and finds its end points.

Parameter

Description

pPoints

Pointer to an array of object contour coordinate points.

uSize

Array size.

puFeretsDiameter

Pointer to a variable to be updated with the length of the Ferets diameter. The length is measured in pixels and is internally multiplied by 1000. Divide this value by 1000 to obtain the real length.

puFirstIndex

Pointer to a variable to be updated with index of the first end point of the Ferets diameter.

puSecondIndex

Pointer to a variable to be updated with index of the second end point of the Ferets diameter.

uFlags

Reserved for future use. Must be 0.

Returns

SUCCESS

The function was successful.

< 1

An error occurred. Refer to Return Codes.

Comments

This function calculates the Feret's Diameter (caliper length), the longest distance between any two points along the boundary. This is equivalent to the minimum diameter of a tube through which this object can pass.

This function does not call the status callback.
