machinevisiontoolbox.Image.endpoint

Image.endpoint(**kwargs)

Find end points on a binary skeleton image

Parameters:: kwargs – options passed to hitormiss
Returns:: Image
Return type:: Image instance

Return a binary image where pixels are True if the corresponding pixel in the binary image is the end point of a single-pixel wide line such as found in an image skeleton.

Example:

>>> from machinevisiontoolbox import Image
>>> img = Image.String('000000|011110|000000')
>>> img.print()
 0 0 0 0 0 0
 0 1 1 1 1 0
 0 0 0 0 0 0
>>> img.endpoint().print()
 0 0 0 0 0 0
 0 1 0 0 1 0
 0 0 0 0 0 0

Note:

Computed using the hit-or-miss morphological operator.
