% Morphology is the application of various kernels, of any size or shape, to an
% 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 longer 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 separated 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 a No-Op or Scaling single element kernel.
%
%    Gaussian:{radius},{sigma}
%       Generate a two-dimensional 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 equivalent 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.
%
%    Binomial:[{radius}]
%       Generate a discrete kernel using a 2 dimentional Pascel's Triangle
%       of values. Used for special forma of image filters.
%
%    # Still to be implemented...
%    #
%    # Filter2D
%    # Filter1D
%    #    Set kernel values using a resize filter, and given scale (sigma)
%    #    Cylindrical or Linear.   Is this possible 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}
%      Discrete Lapacian Kernels, (without normalization)
%        Type 0 :  3x3 with center:8 surounded by -1  (8 neighbourhood)
%        Type 1 :  3x3 with center:4 edge:-1 corner:0 (4 neighbourhood)
%        Type 2 :  3x3 with center:4 edge:1 corner:-2
%        Type 3 :  3x3 with center:4 edge:-2 corner:1

%
%    FreiChen:{angle}
%      Frei-Chen Edge Detector is based on a kernel that is similar to
%      the Sobel Kernel, but is designed to be isotropic. That is it takes
%      into account the distance of the diagonal in the kernel.
%
%          |   1,     0,   -1     |

%
%      However this kernel is als at the heart of the FreiChen Edge Detection
%      Process which uses a set of 9 specially weighted kernel.  These 9
%      kernels not be normalized, but directly applied to the image. The
%      results is then added together, to produce the intensity of an edge in
%      a specific direction.  The square root of the pixel value can then be
%      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
%      determined.
%
%        Type 10: All 9 of the following pre-weighted kernels...

%
%        Type 14: |    0,     1, -sqrt(2) |
%                 |   -1,     0,     1    | / 2*sqrt(2)
%                 | sqrt(2), -1,     0    |
%
%        Type 15: | 0, -1, 0 |

%        Type 19: | 1, 1, 1 |
%                 | 1, 1, 1 | / 3
%                 | 1, 1, 1 |
%
%      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).
%
%    Octagon:[{radius}[,{scale}]]
%       Generate octagonal shaped kernel of given radius and constant scale.
%       Default radius is 3 producing a 7x7 kernel. A radius of 1 will result
%       in "Diamond" kernel.
%
%    Disk:[{radius}[,{scale}]]
%       Generate a binary disk, thresholded at the radius given, the radius
%       may be a float-point value. Final Kernel size is floor(radius)*2+1
%       square. A radius of 5.3 is the default.
%
%       NOTE: That a low radii Disk kernels produce the same results as
%       many of the previously defined kernels, but differ greatly at larger
%       radii.  Here is a table of equivalences...
%          "Disk:1"    => "Diamond", "Octagon:1", or "Cross:1"
%          "Disk:1.5"  => "Square"
%          "Disk:2"    => "Diamond:2"
%          "Disk:2.5"  => "Octagon"
%          "Disk:2.9"  => "Square:2"
%          "Disk:3.5"  => "Octagon:3"
%          "Disk:4.5"  => "Octagon:4"
%          "Disk:5.4"  => "Octagon:5"
%          "Disk:6.4"  => "Octagon:6"
%       All other Disk shapes are unique to this kernel, but because a "Disk"
%       is more circular when using a larger radius, using a larger radius is
%       preferred over iterating the morphological operation.
%
%    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.
%
%  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 equivalent 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
%    Diagonals:type
%       A special kernel to thin the 'outside' of diagonals
%    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 Thickening 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: Thinning skeleton based on a ressearch paper by
%                 Dan S. Bloomberg (Default Type)
%    ThinSE:type
%       A huge variety of Thinning Kernels designed to preserve conectivity.
%       many other kernel sets use these kernels as source definitions.
%       Type numbers are 41-49, 81-89, 481, and 482 which are based on
%       the super and sub notations used in the source research paper.
%
%  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 or Chessboard 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 given a value that is closer than expected.
%
%    Manhattan:[{radius}][x{scale}[%!]]
%       Manhattan Distance (also known as Rectilinear, City Block, or the Taxi
%       Cab distance metric), it is the distance needed when you can only
%       travel in horizontal or vertical directions only.  It is the
%       distance a 'Rook' in chess would have to travel, and results in a
%       diamond like distances, where diagonals are further than expected.
%
%    Octagonal:[{radius}][x{scale}[%!]]
%       An interleving of Manhatten and Chebyshev metrics producing an
%       increasing octagonally shaped distance.  Distances matches those of
%       the "Octagon" shaped kernel of the same radius.  The minimum radius
%       and default is 2, producing a 5x5 kernel.
%
%    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.
%
%       However using a larger radius such as "Euclidean:4" you will get a
%       much smoother distance gradient from the edge of the shape. Especially
%       if the image is pre-processed to include any anti-aliasing pixels.
%       Of course a larger kernel is slower to use, and not always needed.
%
%    The first three Distance Measuring Kernels will only generate distances
%    of exact multiples of {scale} in binary images. As such you can use a
%    scale of 1 without loosing any information.  However you also need some
%    scaling when handling non-binary anti-aliased shapes.
%
%    The "Euclidean" Distance Kernel however does generate a non-integer
%    fractional results, and as such scaling is vital even for binary shapes.

%
%  MorphologyApply() applies a morphological method, multiple times using
%  a list of multiple kernels.  This is the method that should be called by
%  other 'operators' that internally use morphology operations as part of
%  their processing.
%
%  It is basically equivalent to as MorphologyImage() (see below) but without
%  any user controls.  This allows internel programs to use this method to
%  perform a specific task without possible interference by any API user
%  supplied settings.
%
%  It is MorphologyImage() task to extract any such user controls, and
%  pass them to this function for processing.
%
%  More specifically all given kernels should already be scaled, normalised,
%  and blended appropriatally before being parred to this routine. The
%  appropriate bias, and compose (typically 'UndefinedComposeOp') given.
%
%  The format of the MorphologyApply method is:
%
%      Image *MorphologyApply(const Image *image,MorphologyMethod method,
%        const ssize_t iterations,const KernelInfo *kernel,
%        const CompositeMethod compose,const double bias,
%        ExceptionInfo *exception)
%
%  A description of each parameter follows:
%
%    o image: the source image
%
%    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.
%
%    o compose: How to handle or merge multi-kernel results.
%          If 'UndefinedCompositeOp' use default for the Morphology method.
%          If 'NoCompositeOp' force image to be re-iterated by each kernel.
%          Otherwise merge the results using the compose method given.
%
%    o bias: Convolution Output Bias.
%
%    o exception: return any errors or warnings in this structure.

               For correct working of this operation for asymetrical kernels,
               the kernel needs to be applied in its reflected form.  That is
               its values needs to be reversed.

               Correlation is actually the same as this but without reflecting
               the kernel, and thus 'lower-level' that Convolution.  However as
               Convolution is the more common method used, and it does not
               really cost us much in terms of processing to use a reflected
               kernel, so it is Convolution that is implemented.

               Correlation will have its kernel reflected before calling this
               function to do a Convolve.

               For more details of Correlation vs Convolution see

%
%  MorphologyImage() applies a user supplied kernel to the image according to
%  the given mophology method.
%
%  This function applies any and all user defined settings before calling
%  the above internal function MorphologyApply().
%
%  User defined settings include...
%    * Output Bias for Convolution and correlation ("-define convolve:bias=??")
%    * Kernel Scale/normalize settings            ("-define convolve:scale=??")
%      This can also includes the addition of a scaled unity kernel.
%    * Show Kernel being applied            ("-define morphology:showKernel=1")
%
%  Other operators that do not want user supplied options interfering,
%  especially "convolve:bias" and "morphology:showKernel" should use
%  MorphologyApply() directly.
%
%  The format of the MorphologyImage method is:
%
%      Image *MorphologyImage(const Image *image,MorphologyMethod method,
%        const ssize_t iterations,KernelInfo *kernel,ExceptionInfo *exception)
%
%  A description of each parameter follows:
%
%    o image: the image.
%
%    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 kernel: An array of double representing the morphology kernel.
%              Warning: kernel may be normalized for the Convolve method.

%
%  ScaleKernelInfo() scales the given kernel list by the given amount, with or
%  without normalization of the sum of the kernel values (as per given flags).
%
%  By default (no flags given) the values within the kernel is scaled
%  directly using given scaling factor without change.
%
%  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
%  any use of the kernel scaling factor with 'Convolve' or 'Correlate'
%  morphology methods will fall into -1.0 to +1.0 range.  Note that for
%  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 separately 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
