Properties
double	Distance [get, set]
	The expected distance of edge pair used for double-side edge inspection. Works when SortBy enables LPVGaugeFeatureDistance.
double	DistanceTolerance [get, set]
	The tolerance in percentage for the difference between the true distance of edge pair and the expectation Distance, used for double-side edge inspection. Works when SortBy enables LPVGaugeFeatureDistance.
int	MaxCount [get, set]
	The maximum of edges or edge pairs to find. Modification to this property may also change MaxSamplePointCount.
LPVPolarity	Polarity2 [get, set]
	The detection polarity for the second edge, either object or edge polarity is acceptable. Used for double-side edge inspection.
Properties inherited from ILGauge
int	AcceptScore [get, set]
	The accept score used in inspection. It defines the minimum score for identifying the sample point as a valid result. You may pick a proper score with help of the score chart. More...
int	KernelSize [get, set]
	The kernel size used in gradient filtering, should be an odd number which is ≥ 3, say 3, 5, 7, etc.
int	MaxSamplePointCount [get, set]
	The maximum of sample points to find in each sample region.
BOOL	NormScore [get, set]
	Whether we should normalize the score based on maximum gradient or grayscale value in region.
LPVPolarity	Polarity [get, set]
	The detection polarity, either object or edge polarity is acceptable.
LPVGaugeFeatures	SortBy [get, set]
	The method used to sort all sample point candidates, the top ones are reported as final results. More...
LPVFindBy	SortByPosition [get, set]
	Works when SortBy enables LPVGaugeFeaturePosition, prefer either the last, the central or the last ones. More...
BOOL	SortByScoreDescending [get, set]
	Works when SortBy enables LPVGaugeFeatureScore. True to sort all sample point candidates descending(from large score to small, aka. prefer the maximum magnitude), false for sorting in ascending order. More...

Detailed Description

This interface provide functionalities of the edge-based gauge tool.

The edge gauge tool is used to measure the width of objects, the location of edges or features, and the location and spacing of pairs of edges in images. It locates single-side edges or double-side edge pairs by their peak locations in an image's projection applied a simple 1-D edge kernel.

To use this interface, you should create a LEdgeGauge object.

Example Code

C++

Code snippets: snippets/PitchCount.cpp
ILEdgeGaugePtr edgeGauge = LEdgeGauge::Create();
edgeGauge->Polarity = LPVPolarity::LPVBlack2White;
edgeGauge->Polarity2 = LPVPolarity::LPVWhite2Black; // for double-side, the 2nd edge's polarity
edgeGauge->AcceptScore = 40;
edgeGauge->SortBy = (LPVGaugeFeatures)(LPVGaugeFeatures::LPVGaugeFeatureScore + LPVGaugeFeatures::LPVGaugeFeatureDistance);
edgeGauge->Distance = 100;
edgeGauge->DistanceTolerance = 30; // 30% tolerance
ILEdgeGaugeResultPtr edgeGaugeResult;
LPVErrorCode err = polyGauge->Detect2(img, rotRectRoi, &edgeGaugeResult);
if (err != LPVErrorCode::LPVNoError) return;

C#

Code snippets: snippets/PitchCount.cs
LEdgeGauge edgeGauge = new LEdgeGauge();
edgeGauge.Polarity = LPVPolarity.LPVBlack2White;
edgeGauge.Polarity2 = LPVPolarity.LPVWhite2Black; // for double-side, the 2nd edge's polarity
edgeGauge.AcceptScore = 40;
edgeGauge.SortBy = LPVGaugeFeatures.LPVGaugeFeatureScore | LPVGaugeFeatures.LPVGaugeFeatureDistance;
edgeGauge.Distance = 100;
edgeGauge.DistanceTolerance = 30; // 30% tolerance
LEdgeGaugeResult edgeGaugeResult;
LPVErrorCode err = polyGauge.Detect2(img, rotRectRoi, out edgeGaugeResult);
if (err != LPVErrorCode.LPVNoError) return;

COM

ILEdgeGaugePtr edgeGauge = LEdgeGauge::Create();
// or, ILEdgeGaugePtr edgeGauge(__uuidof(LEdgeGauge)), for absence of built-in Create functions (before 2.2.0)
edgeGauge->Polarity = LPVPolarity::LPVBlack2White;
