Parameter Description

Parameter Description

Target Shape

Description: This parameter specifies the method to process the 2D image.

Value list: Convex, Ellipse, Circumcircle, Incircle, BoundingBox, CircumscribedRectangle, InscribedRectangle, and InnerCenter.

  • Convex: Generate a convex hull of the original shape.

  • Ellipse: Generate an ellipse with the same first-order moment and second-order moment as the original shape.

  • Circumcircle: Generate a minimum circumscribed circle of the original shape.

  • Incircle: Generate a maximum inscribed circle of the original shape.

  • BoundingBox: Generate a minimum bounding box with edges parallel to the image borders.

  • CircumscribedRectangle: Generate a minimal circumscribed rectangle of the original shape.

  • InscribedRectangle: Generate a maximum inscribed rectangle with edges parallel to the image borders.

  • InnerCenter: Generate a point that is closest to the center of gravity on the original shape’s skeleton.

Tuning recommendation: Please select a method according to the actual requirement.
