Hotspot Detection Configuration

To modify the hotspot detection configuration edit the detect_brightspot section in config.yaml :

detect_brightspot:
    brightspot_percentile_threshold: float  # 0 <= brightspot_percentile_threshold <= 100
    filter_by_color: bool                   # Detects by intensity of image
    blob_color: int                         # 0 <= blob_color <= 255
    filter_by_circularity: bool
    min_circularity: float                  # 0 < min_circularity <= max_circularity
    max_circularity: float                  # min_circularity <= max_circularity <= 1
    filter_by_inertia: bool
    min_inertia_ratio: float                # 0 < min_inertia_ratio <= max_inertia_ratio
    max_inertia_ratio: float                # min_inertia_ratio <= max_inertia_ratio <= 1
    filter_by_convexity: bool
    min_convexity: float                    # 0 < min_convexity <= max_convexity
    max_convexity: float                    # min_convexity <= max_convexity <= 1
    filter_by_area: bool                    # Detects by pixel area of the blob
    min_area_pixels: int                    # 0 < min_area_pixels <= max_area_pixels
    max_area_pixels: int                    # min_area_pixels <= max_area_pixels

According to OpenCV reference:

• By color. This filter compares the intensity of a binary image at the center of a blob to blobColor. If they differ, the blob is filtered out. Use blob_color = 0 to extract dark blobs and blob_color = 255 to extract light blobs.

• By area. Extracted blobs have an area between min_area_pixels (inclusive) and max_area_pixels (exclusive).

• By circularity. Extracted blobs have circularity (4∗π∗Area)/(perimeter∗perimeter) between min_circularity (inclusive) and max_circularity (exclusive).

• By ratio of the minimum inertia to maximum inertia. Extracted blobs have this ratio between min_inertia_ratio (inclusive) and max_inertia_ratio (exclusive).

• By convexity. Extracted blobs have convexity (area / area of blob convex hull) between min_convexity (inclusive) and max_convexity (exclusive)
