Branching points detection in processed image












6












$begingroup$


I want to get the branching coordinates from a computer-generated image like this one:



Generated tree



After SkeletonTransform and Pruning, I get:



Skeletonized



I would like to develop an algorithm that automatically detect and give coordinates of branching points (I could do it manually but really time consuming).



Thanks!



Edit: I already tried MorphologicalBranchPoints with poor results...

    @ Szabolcs It was more about a careful selection of thinning and skeletonize options. The result with MorphologicalBranchPoints wasn't good then.

Use MorphologicalBranchPoints.



im = Binarize@Import["https://i.stack.imgur.com/O0AMj.png"]



skel = Pruning[Thinning[im], 20];



HighlightImage[skel, MorphologicalBranchPoints[skel]]


enter image description here



Another possibility is to use



skel1 = Pruning[Thinning[im, Method -> "MedialAxis"], 10];


as a start then smoothen the result using 



skel2 = Thinning@Dilation[skel1, 5]


so that MorphologicalBranchPoints would not give false results.

How to change which sound is reproduced for terminal bell?

Image
3 Recently upgrade to 18.10 from 18.04, and using the terminal is becoming annoying: the new alert sound is a drip ( /usr/share/sounds/gnome/default/alerts/drip.ogg ), and the previous one is still located at ( /usr/share/sounds/ubuntu/stereo/bell.ogg ). My issue is that at the gnome-terminal, when autocompleting or pressing left BOTH sounds are reproduced, at the same time. I want to just have ubuntu/stereo/bell.ogg active, not both . At the moment I have been only able to reduce the volume of the alerts (but still both are played), or turn the alerts down (but I dislike both "solutions"). gnome-terminal 18.10 teminal-bell share | improve this question

Can I use Tabulator js library in my java Spring + Thymeleaf project?

Title Spacing in Bjornstrup Chapter, Removing Chapter Number From Contents

Image
up vote 5 down vote favorite 2 I would like to make it so that the vertical space below the title of each chapter is the same when using the Bjornstrup package (i.e. so that the descenders do not affect the spacing - as shown by the red arrow in the picture below). I think I'm fairly happy with the spacing around "A chapter", so I'd really like titles without descenders (e.g. "Contents") to have the same vertical spacing as "A chapter" below the title. I would also like to remove the large "0" in the contents title.
