% Morpology is the the application of various kernels, of any size and even
% shape, to a image in various ways (typically binary, but not always).
%
% Convolution (weighted sum or average) is just one specific type of
% morphology. Just one that is very common for image bluring and sharpening
% effects.  Not only 2D Gaussian blurring, but also 2-pass 1D Blurring.
%
% This module provides not only a general morphology function, and the ability
% to apply more advanced or iterative morphologies, but also functions for the
% generation of many different types of kernel arrays from user supplied
% arguments. Prehaps even the generation of a kernel from a small image.

%  AcquireKernelInfo() takes the given string (generally supplied by the
%  user) and converts it into a Morphology/Convolution Kernel.  This allows
%  users to specify a kernel from a number of pre-defined kernels, or to fully
%  specify their own kernel for a specific Convolution or Morphology
%  Operation.
%
%  The kernel so generated can be any rectangular array of floating point
%  values (doubles) with the 'control point' or 'pixel being affected'
%  anywhere within that array of values.
%
%  Previously IM was restricted to a square of odd size using the exact
%  center as origin, this is no ssize_ter the case, and any rectangular kernel
%  with any value being declared the origin. This in turn allows the use of
%  highly asymmetrical kernels.
%
%  The floating point values in the kernel can also include a special value
%  known as 'nan' or 'not a number' to indicate that this value is not part
%  of the kernel array. This allows you to shaped the kernel within its
%  rectangular area. That is 'nan' values provide a 'mask' for the kernel
%  shape.  However at least one non-nan value must be provided for correct
%  working of a kernel.
%
%  The returned kernel should be freed using the DestroyKernelInfo() when you
%  are finished with it.  Do not free this memory yourself.
%
%  Input kernel defintion strings can consist of any of three types.
%
%    "name:args[[@><]"
%         Select from one of the built in kernels, using the name and
%         geometry arguments supplied.  See AcquireKernelBuiltIn()
%
%    "WxH[+X+Y][@><]:num, num, num ..."
%         a kernel of size W by H, with W*H floating point numbers following.
%         the 'center' can be optionally be defined at +X+Y (such that +0+0
%         is top left corner). If not defined the pixel in the center, for
%         odd sizes, or to the immediate top or left of center for even sizes
%         is automatically selected.
%
%    "num, num, num, num, ..."
%         list of floating point numbers defining an 'old style' odd sized
%         square kernel.  At least 9 values should be provided for a 3x3
%         square kernel, 25 for a 5x5 square kernel, 49 for 7x7, etc.
%         Values can be space or comma separated.  This is not recommended.
%
%  You can define a 'list of kernels' which can be used by some morphology
%  operators A list is defined as a semi-colon seperated list kernels.
%
%     " kernel ; kernel ; kernel ; "
%
%  Any extra ';' characters, at start, end or between kernel defintions are
%  simply ignored.
%
%  The special flags will expand a single kernel, into a list of rotated
%  kernels. A '@' flag will expand a 3x3 kernel into a list of 45-degree
%  cyclic rotations, while a '>' will generate a list of 90-degree rotations.
%  The '<' also exands using 90-degree rotates, but giving a 180-degree
%  reflected kernel before the +/- 90-degree rotations, which can be important
%  for Thinning operations.
%
%  Note that 'name' kernels will start with an alphabetic character while the
%  new kernel specification has a ':' character in its specification string.
%  If neither is the case, it is assumed an old style of a simple list of
%  numbers generating a odd-sized square kernel has been given.
%
%  The format of the AcquireKernal method is:
%
%      KernelInfo *AcquireKernelInfo(const char *kernel_string)
%
%  A description of each parameter follows:
%
%    o kernel_string: the Morphology/Convolution kernel wanted.

%
%  AcquireKernelBuiltIn() returned one of the 'named' built-in types of
%  kernels used for special purposes such as gaussian blurring, skeleton
%  pruning, and edge distance determination.
%
%  They take a KernelType, and a set of geometry style arguments, which were
%  typically decoded from a user supplied string, or from a more complex
%  Morphology Method that was requested.
%
%  The format of the AcquireKernalBuiltIn method is:
%
%      KernelInfo *AcquireKernelBuiltIn(const KernelInfoType type,
%           const GeometryInfo args)
%
%  A description of each parameter follows:
%
%    o type: the pre-defined type of kernel wanted
%
%    o args: arguments defining or modifying the kernel
%
%  Convolution Kernels
%
%    Unity
%       the No-Op kernel, also requivelent to  Gaussian of sigma zero.
%       Basically a 3x3 kernel of a 1 surrounded by zeros.
%
%    Gaussian:{radius},{sigma}
%       Generate a two-dimentional gaussian kernel, as used by -gaussian.
%       The sigma for the curve is required.  The resulting kernel is
%       normalized,
%
%       If 'sigma' is zero, you get a single pixel on a field of zeros.
%
%       NOTE: that the 'radius' is optional, but if provided can limit (clip)
%       the final size of the resulting kernel to a square 2*radius+1 in size.
%       The radius should be at least 2 times that of the sigma value, or
%       sever clipping and aliasing may result.  If not given or set to 0 the
%       radius will be determined so as to produce the best minimal error
%       result, which is usally much larger than is normally needed.
%
%    LoG:{radius},{sigma}
%        "Laplacian of a Gaussian" or "Mexician Hat" Kernel.
%        The supposed ideal edge detection, zero-summing kernel.
%
%        An alturnative to this kernel is to use a "DoG" with a sigma ratio of
%        approx 1.6 (according to wikipedia).
%
%    DoG:{radius},{sigma1},{sigma2}
%        "Difference of Gaussians" Kernel.
%        As "Gaussian" but with a gaussian produced by 'sigma2' subtracted
%        from the gaussian produced by 'sigma1'. Typically sigma2 > sigma1.
%        The result is a zero-summing kernel.
%
%    Blur:{radius},{sigma}[,{angle}]
%       Generates a 1 dimensional or linear gaussian blur, at the angle given
%       (current restricted to orthogonal angles).  If a 'radius' is given the
%       kernel is clipped to a width of 2*radius+1.  Kernel can be rotated
%       by a 90 degree angle.
%
%       If 'sigma' is zero, you get a single pixel on a field of zeros.
%
%       Note that two convolutions with two "Blur" kernels perpendicular to
%       each other, is equivelent to a far larger "Gaussian" kernel with the
%       same sigma value, However it is much faster to apply. This is how the
%       "-blur" operator actually works.
%
%    Comet:{width},{sigma},{angle}
%       Blur in one direction only, much like how a bright object leaves
%       a comet like trail.  The Kernel is actually half a gaussian curve,
%       Adding two such blurs in opposite directions produces a Blur Kernel.
%       Angle can be rotated in multiples of 90 degrees.
%
%       Note that the first argument is the width of the kernel and not the
%       radius of the kernel.
%
%    # Still to be implemented...
%    #
%    # Filter2D
%    # Filter1D
%    #    Set kernel values using a resize filter, and given scale (sigma)
%    #    Cylindrical or Linear.   Is this posible with an image?
%    #
%
%  Named Constant Convolution Kernels
%
%  All these are unscaled, zero-summing kernels by default. As such for
%  non-HDRI version of ImageMagick some form of normalization, user scaling,
%  and biasing the results is recommended, to prevent the resulting image
%  being 'clipped'.
%
%  The 3x3 kernels (most of these) can be circularly rotated in multiples of
%  45 degrees to generate the 8 angled varients of each of the kernels.
%
%    Laplacian:{type}

%
%    FreiChen:{angle}
%      Frei-Chen Edge Detector is based on a kernel that is similar to

%      taken as the cosine of the edge, and at least 2 such runs at 90 degrees
%      from each other, both the direction and the strength of the edge can be

%
%      The first 4 are for edge detection, the next 4 are for line detection
%      and the last is to add a average component to the results.
%
%      Using a special type of '-1' will return all 9 pre-weighted kernels
%      as a multi-kernel list, so that you can use them directly (without
%      normalization) with the special "-set option:morphology:compose Plus"
%      setting to apply the full FreiChen Edge Detection Technique.
%
%      If 'type' is large it will be taken to be an actual rotation angle for
%      the default FreiChen (type 0) kernel.  As such  FreiChen:45  will look
%      like a  Sobel:45  but with 'sqrt(2)' instead of '2' values.
%
%      WARNING: The above was layed out as per
%          http://www.math.tau.ac.il/~turkel/notes/edge_detectors.pdf
%      But rotated 90 degrees so direction is from left rather than the top.
%      I have yet to find any secondary confirmation of the above. The only
%      other source found was actual source code at
%          http://ltswww.epfl.ch/~courstiv/exos_labos/sol3.pdf
%      Neigher paper defineds the kernels in a way that looks locical or
%      correct when taken as a whole.
%
%  Boolean Kernels
%
%    Diamond:[{radius}[,{scale}]]
%       Generate a diamond shaped kernel with given radius to the points.
%       Kernel size will again be radius*2+1 square and defaults to radius 1,
%       generating a 3x3 kernel that is slightly larger than a square.
%
%    Square:[{radius}[,{scale}]]
%       Generate a square shaped kernel of size radius*2+1, and defaulting
%       to a 3x3 (radius 1).
%
%       Note that using a larger radius for the "Square" or the "Diamond" is
%       also equivelent to iterating the basic morphological method that many
%       times. However iterating with the smaller radius is actually faster
%       than using a larger kernel radius.
%
%    Rectangle:{geometry}
%       Simply generate a rectangle of 1's with the size given. You can also
%       specify the location of the 'control point', otherwise the closest
%       pixel to the center of the rectangle is selected.
%
%       Properly centered and odd sized rectangles work the best.
%
%    Disk:[{radius}[,{scale}]]
%       Generate a binary disk of the radius given, radius may be a float.
%       Kernel size will be ceil(radius)*2+1 square.
%       NOTE: Here are some disk shapes of specific interest
%          "Disk:1"    => "diamond" or "cross:1"
%          "Disk:1.5"  => "square"
%          "Disk:2"    => "diamond:2"
%          "Disk:2.5"  => a general disk shape of radius 2
%          "Disk:2.9"  => "square:2"
%          "Disk:3.5"  => default - octagonal/disk shape of radius 3
%          "Disk:4.2"  => roughly octagonal shape of radius 4
%          "Disk:4.3"  => a general disk shape of radius 4
%       After this all the kernel shape becomes more and more circular.
%
%       Because a "disk" is more circular when using a larger radius, using a
%       larger radius is preferred over iterating the morphological operation.
%
%  Symbol Dilation Kernels
%
%    These kernel is not a good general morphological kernel, but is used
%    more for highlighting and marking any single pixels in an image using,
%    a "Dilate" method as appropriate.
%
%    For the same reasons iterating these kernels does not produce the
%    same result as using a larger radius for the symbol.
%
%    Plus:[{radius}[,{scale}]]
%    Cross:[{radius}[,{scale}]]
%       Generate a kernel in the shape of a 'plus' or a 'cross' with
%       a each arm the length of the given radius (default 2).
%
%       NOTE: "plus:1" is equivelent to a "Diamond" kernel.
%
%    Ring:{radius1},{radius2}[,{scale}]
%       A ring of the values given that falls between the two radii.
%       Defaults to a ring of approximataly 3 radius in a 7x7 kernel.
%       This is the 'edge' pixels of the default "Disk" kernel,
%       More specifically, "Ring" -> "Ring:2.5,3.5,1.0"
%
%  Hit and Miss Kernels
%
%    Peak:radius1,radius2
%       Find any peak larger than the pixels the fall between the two radii.
%       The default ring of pixels is as per "Ring".
%    Edges
%       Find flat orthogonal edges of a binary shape
%    Corners
%       Find 90 degree corners of a binary shape
%    LineEnds:type
%       Find end points of lines (for pruning a skeletion)
%       Two types of lines ends (default to both) can be searched for
%         Type 0: All line ends
%         Type 1: single kernel for 4-conneected line ends
%         Type 2: single kernel for simple line ends
%    LineJunctions
%       Find three line junctions (within a skeletion)
%         Type 0: all line junctions
%         Type 1: Y Junction kernel
%         Type 2: Diagonal T Junction kernel
%         Type 3: Orthogonal T Junction kernel
%         Type 4: Diagonal X Junction kernel
%         Type 5: Orthogonal + Junction kernel
%    Ridges:type
%       Find single pixel ridges or thin lines
%         Type 1: Fine single pixel thick lines and ridges
%         Type 2: Find two pixel thick lines and ridges
%    ConvexHull
%       Octagonal thicken kernel, to generate convex hulls of 45 degrees
%    Skeleton:type
%       Traditional skeleton generating kernels.
%         Type 1: Tradional Skeleton kernel (4 connected skeleton)
%         Type 2: HIPR2 Skeleton kernel (8 connected skeleton)
%         Type 3: Experimental Variation to try to present left-right symmetry
%         Type 4: Experimental Variation to preserve left-right symmetry
%
%  Distance Measuring Kernels
%
%    Different types of distance measuring methods, which are used with the
%    a 'Distance' morphology method for generating a gradient based on
%    distance from an edge of a binary shape, though there is a technique
%    for handling a anti-aliased shape.
%
%    See the 'Distance' Morphological Method, for information of how it is
%    applied.
%
%    Chebyshev:[{radius}][x{scale}[%!]]
%       Chebyshev Distance (also known as Tchebychev Distance) is a value of
%       one to any neighbour, orthogonal or diagonal. One why of thinking of
%       it is the number of squares a 'King' or 'Queen' in chess needs to
%       traverse reach any other position on a chess board.  It results in a
%       'square' like distance function, but one where diagonals are closer
%       than expected.
%
%    Manhattan:[{radius}][x{scale}[%!]]
%       Manhattan Distance (also known as Rectilinear Distance, or the Taxi
%       Cab metric), is the distance needed when you can only travel in
%       orthogonal (horizontal or vertical) only.  It is the distance a 'Rook'
%       in chess would travel. It results in a diamond like distances, where
%       diagonals are further than expected.
%
%    Euclidean:[{radius}][x{scale}[%!]]
%       Euclidean Distance is the 'direct' or 'as the crow flys distance.
%       However by default the kernel size only has a radius of 1, which
%       limits the distance to 'Knight' like moves, with only orthogonal and
%       diagonal measurements being correct.  As such for the default kernel
%       you will get octagonal like distance function, which is reasonally
%       accurate.
%
%       However if you use a larger radius such as "Euclidean:4" you will
%       get a much smoother distance gradient from the edge of the shape.
%       Of course a larger kernel is slower to use, and generally not needed.
%
%       To allow the use of fractional distances that you get with diagonals
%       the actual distance is scaled by a fixed value which the user can
%       provide.  This is not actually nessary for either ""Chebyshev" or
%       "Manhattan" distance kernels, but is done for all three distance
%       kernels.  If no scale is provided it is set to a value of 100,

%  by any API user supplied settings.
%
%  It is MorphologyImageChannel() task to extract any such user controls, and

%
%  More specifically kernels are not normalized/scaled/blended by the

%  (-bias setting or image->bias) loooked at, but must be supplied from the

%
%    o method: the morphology method to be applied.
%
%    o iterations: apply the operation this many times (or no change).
%                  A value of -1 means loop until no change found.
%                  How this is applied may depend on the morphology method.
%                  Typically this is a value of 1.
%
%    o channel: the channel type.
%
%    o kernel: An array of double representing the morphology kernel.
%              Warning: kernel may be normalized for the Convolve method.
%
%    o compose: How to handle or merge multi-kernel results.
%               If 'Undefined' use default of the Morphology method.
%               If 'No' force image to be re-iterated by each kernel.

%
%  If either of the two 'normalize_flags' are given the kernel will first be
%  normalized and then further scaled by the scaling factor value given.
%
%  Kernel normalization ('normalize_flags' given) is designed to ensure that

%  non-HDRI versions of IM this may cause images to have any negative results
%  clipped, unless some 'bias' is used.
%
%  More specifically.  Kernels which only contain positive values (such as a
%  'Gaussian' kernel) will be scaled so that those values sum to +1.0,
%  ensuring a 0.0 to +1.0 output range for non-HDRI images.

%  For Kernels that contain some negative values, (such as 'Sharpen' kernels)
%  the kernel will be scaled by the absolute of the sum of kernel values, so
%  that it will generally fall within the +/- 1.0 range.
%
%  For kernels whose values sum to zero, (such as 'Laplician' kernels) kernel
%  will be scaled by just the sum of the postive values, so that its output
%  range will again fall into the  +/- 1.0 range.
%
%  For special kernels designed for locating shapes using 'Correlate', (often
%  only containing +1 and -1 values, representing foreground/brackground
%  matching) a special normalization method is provided to scale the positive
%  values seperatally to those of the negative values, so the kernel will be
%  forced to become a zero-sum kernel better suited to such searches.
%
%  WARNING: Correct normalization of the kernel assumes that the '*_range'
%  attributes within the kernel structure have been correctly set during the
%  kernels creation.
%
%  NOTE: The values used for 'normalize_flags' have been selected specifically
%  to match the use of geometry options, so that '!' means NormalizeValue, '^'
%  means CorrelateNormalizeValue.  All other GeometryFlags values are ignored.
%
%  The format of the ScaleKernelInfo method is:
%
%      void ScaleKernelInfo(KernelInfo *kernel, const double scaling_factor,
%               const MagickStatusType normalize_flags )
%
%  A description of each parameter follows:
%
%    o kernel: the Morphology/Convolution kernel
%
%    o scaling_factor:
%             multiply all values (after normalization) by this factor if not
%             zero.  If the kernel is normalized regardless of any flags.
%
%    o normalize_flags:
%             GeometryFlags defining normalization method to use.
%             specifically: NormalizeValue, CorrelateNormalizeValue,
%                           and/or PercentValue
