level, then we choose the middle one. If the two nonadjacent points share the

highest gray level, we choose arbitrarily.

With the assumption of a noise-free image of a monotone spot, this algorithm

will trace out the maximum gradient boundary nicely. However, if noise is present,

the tracking is likely to go away from the boundary. Noise effects can be reduced

by smoothing the gradient image before tracking or by implementing a tracking

bug, which works as follows. First a rectangular averaging window, usually having

uniform weights, is deﬁned to embody the bug (Fig. 9.13b). The last two or last few

boundary points deﬁne the current boundary direct ...

O’Reilly covers everything we've got, with content to help us build a world-class technology community, upgrade the capabilities and competencies of our teams, and improve overall team performance as well as their engagement.

Julian F.

Head of Cybersecurity

I wanted to learn C and C++, but it didn't click for me until I picked up an O'Reilly book. When I went on the O’Reilly platform, I was astonished to find all the books there, plus live events and sandboxes so you could play around with the technology.

Addison B.

Field Engineer

I’ve been on the O’Reilly platform for more than eight years. I use a couple of learning platforms, but I'm on O'Reilly more than anybody else. When you're there, you start learning. I'm never disappointed.

Amir M.

Data Platform Tech Lead

I'm always learning. So when I got on to O'Reilly, I was like a kid in a candy store. There are playlists. There are answers. There's on-demand training. It's worth its weight in gold, in terms of what it allows me to do.
