6.1.7   Menu Suggestions

This menu shows another possibility how to select HALCON operators via suggestions. Assuming that you have already selected an operator in a previous step, depending on this operator, the following suggestions are offered.

Suggestions are separated into groups as described below.

Menu Entry Description Shortcut

Alternatives Suggests alternative operators. For example, replace mean_image with operators such as binomial_filter, gauss_filter, or smooth_image.

See also Shows operators that have some connection to the current operator. For example, the operator gen_lowpass, which is used to create a lowpass filter in the frequency domain, is a reasonable reference to a Gaussian filter.

Predecessors Many operators require a reasonable or necessary predecessor operator. For example, before computing junction points in a skeleton (junctions_skeleton), you have to compute this skeleton itself (skeleton).

Successors Shows possible successor operators. Image processing tasks often result in a “natural” sequence of operators. For example, you use a thresholding after executing an edge filter or you execute a region processing (for example, morphological operators) after a segmentation.
