Detailed Description

SoLocalMaximaQuantification engine

The SoLocalMaximaQuantification engine extracts the local maxima of an image using a neighborhood analysis.

Input_Image[i,j] is a local maximum if the 2 conditions below apply:

Considering k in [1,p], l in [1,q] and m in [-p,p], InputImage(i,j) verifies:
InputImage( i, j) > InputImage(i + m, j - l)
InputImage( i, j) > InputImage(i - k, j)
InputImage(i, j) >= InputImage(i + k, j)
InputImage(i, j) >= InputImage(i + m, j + l)
Input_Image[i,j] is higher than a specified threshold
InputImage(i, j) >= threshold

Graphic visualization of the neighborhood analysis

Examples:

Example 1:
Input parameters: p=0, q=0, threshold=4, number=50.
The local maxima will be the points higher or equal to 4.

Number of local maxima detected: 7
Positions of the local maxima:
(7,3) (6,5) (5,7) (6,7) (6,8) (2,9) (6,9)
This corresponds to a threshold.

Example 2: Input parameters:p=1, q=1, threshold=3, number=50.
Number of local maxima detected: 4
Positions of the local maxima: (7,3) (6,5) (5,7) (2,9)

Remark: If there is an area in the image at constant level, the engine returns the upper left corner of this area. The other points of the area are not considered as �local maxima�.

Example 3: Input parameters: p=2, q=2, threshold=3, number=50.
Number of local maxima detected: 2
Positions of the local maxima: (7,3) (5,7)

Remark: The algorithm is not performed on the image border depending on n and m values. That is the reason why the point (2,9) is not considered as a local maximum.

Local Maximum Sub-Pixel Position Determination:
On example 3, the algorithm detects 2 local maxima. The positions are converted to sub-pixel positions:
