Image Coordinate Systems

The conventions below apply to all eVision functions and results.

  • Pixel coordinates are usually given as integer numbers.

  • Some results can use subpixel precision with real (floating point) numbers.

  • Some exceptions apply and are documented per library.

Integer coordinates

  • The origin (0,0) of the coordinate system is the upper left pixel of the image.

  • The lower right pixel is (width-1, height-1).

Real coordinates

  • With floating point (x,y) coordinates, the origin is the upper left corner of the upper left pixel.

  • The first pixel area ranges in [0,1[ for X and Y axis.

  • Coordinates greater or equal than the width or the height are outside the image.
