edges: Edge / Line Detection

In magick: Advanced Graphics and Image-Processing in R

Edge / Line Detection

Description

Best results are obtained by finding edges with image_canny() and then performing Hough-line detection on the edge image.

Usage

image_edge(image, radius = 1)

image_canny(image, geometry = "0x1+10%+30%")

image_hough_draw(
  image,
  geometry = NULL,
  color = "red",
  bg = "transparent",
  size = 3,
  overlay = FALSE
)

image_hough_txt(image, geometry = NULL, format = c("mvg", "svg"))

Arguments

image	magick image object returned by image_read() or image_graph()
radius	edge size in pixels
geometry	geometry string, see details.
color	a valid color string such as "navyblue" or "#000080". Use "none" for transparency.
bg	background color
size	size in points to draw the line
overlay	composite the drawing atop the input image. Only for bg = 'transparent'.
format	output format of the text, either svg or mvg

Details

For Hough-line detection, the geometry format is ⁠{W}x{H}+{threshold}⁠ defining the size and threshold of the filter used to find 'peaks' in the intermediate search image. For canny edge detection the format is ⁠{radius}x{sigma}+{lower%}+{upper%}⁠. More details and examples are available at the imagemagick website.

Examples

if(magick_config()$version > "6.8.9"){
shape <- demo_image("shape_rectangle.gif")
rectangle <- image_canny(shape)
rectangle |> image_hough_draw('5x5+20')
rectangle |> image_hough_txt(format = 'svg') |> cat()
}
