Splits a region into an array of regions. Operates by merging blobs in accordance to the inMaxDistance parameter.

inMaxJointHeight | Integer* | 0 - | ||
inMinComponentArea | Integer | 0 - | Minimal area of a resulting component | |
inMaxComponentArea | Integer* | 0 - | Maximal area of a resulting component | |
inRemoveBoundaryBlobs | Bool | Flag indicating whether the blobs on border of the input region should be removed or not | ||
outComponents | RegionArray |
Description
The filter splits the input region into blobs and iteratively joins some of them into bigger components.
Only blobs that are distant from each other by at most inMaxDistance can be joined. The joining order
is determined based on modified distance between two blobs, so the closest ones are joined first.
This modified distance between two blobs is computed as follows:
- The shortest segment connecting two blobs is computed.
- The segment is scaled by \[ 0.5 \cdot (1 + inDistanceBalance) \] along the X axis and by \[ 0.5 \cdot (1 - inDistanceBalance) \] along the Y axis.
- Finally the length of the so scaled segment is computed.
