chess-corners 0.10.0

High-level chessboard / ChESS corner detection API
Documentation
//! High-level chessboard-corner detector with reusable scratch buffers.
//!
//! [`Detector`] is the primary entry point for the `chess-corners`
//! crate. It owns the [`DetectorConfig`] and the scratch buffers
//! (pyramid, upscale, …) required to run detection without
//! re-allocating across frames. It dispatches to either the ChESS or
//! the Radon strategy depending on the active [`DetectorConfig::strategy`].
//!
//! ```
//! use chess_corners::{Detector, DetectorConfig};
//!
//! // 8×8 black/white checkerboard of 16-pixel squares (128×128).
//! let mut img = vec![0u8; 128 * 128];
//! for y in 0..128 {
//!     for x in 0..128 {
//!         if ((x / 16) + (y / 16)) % 2 == 0 {
//!             img[y * 128 + x] = 255;
//!         }
//!     }
//! }
//!
//! let mut detector = Detector::new(DetectorConfig::chess_multiscale())?;
//! let corners = detector.detect_u8(&img, 128, 128)?;
//! assert!(!corners.is_empty());
//! # Ok::<(), chess_corners::ChessError>(())
//! ```
