Figure 5.2: Segmentation result for stamps.<br />

The area boundaries are very blurred and even a human viewer has difficulties recognizing<br />

them. At first glance it seems very difficult to find a segmentation criterion: There is neither a<br />

clear edge nor a significant difference between the gray values of both areas. Thus it is not very<br />

promising to use an edge operator or a threshold operation.<br />

One solution of this problem makes use of the different textures within the areas: Cells are more<br />

textured than the part which is supplied with blood. To emphasize this difference you can use a<br />

texture transformation by Laws. Texture transformations are linear filters that intensify certain<br />

frequencies which are typical for the requested texture. The corresponding HALCON operator<br />

is ØÜØÙÖ ÐÛ×. You have to specify the filter size and type. Both attributes determine the<br />

frequency properties. In this program the filter ³Ð³ with mask size 5 ¢ 5 is used. It performs a<br />

derivation in vertical direction and a smoothing in horizontal direction. Thus structures in vertical<br />

direction are intensified. You cannot directly use the computed result of ØÜØÙÖ ÐÛ× (see<br />
