projective_grid/square/validate/mod.rs
1//! Post-growth validation for a labelled square grid.
2//!
3//! Two independent checks run over the labelled set:
4//!
5//! 1. **Line collinearity.** For every row (`j = const`) and column
6//! (`i = const`) with `≥ line_min_members` labelled members, fit
7//! a least-squares line in pixel space and flag any member whose
8//! perpendicular residual exceeds `line_tol_rel × scale`.
9//!
10//! 2. **Local-H residual.** For every labelled corner with ≥ 4
11//! non-collinear labelled neighbors in `(i, j)`-space, fit a 4-point
12//! local homography from the 4 grid-closest neighbors, predict the
13//! corner's pixel position, and measure the residual. Corners whose
14//! residual exceeds `local_h_tol_rel × scale` are flagged.
15//!
16//! `scale` is either the caller-supplied global `cell_size` (default
17//! mode) or — when [`ValidationParams::use_step_aware`] is set — a
18//! **per-corner local step** computed from labelled grid neighbours
19//! via central or one-sided finite differences. Per-corner thresholds
20//! are anisotropic: cells in perspective-foreshortened regions get a
21//! tighter pixel tolerance proportional to their (smaller) local step;
22//! cells in radially-distorted regions get a looser one. Corners
23//! without enough labelled neighbours fall back to the global
24//! `cell_size`.
25//!
26//! Flags are combined via the attribution rules below into a
27//! blacklist of **indices into the input slice**:
28//!
29//! * A corner flagged in `≥ 2` lines is the outlier.
30//! * A corner with a *large* local-H residual (`> 2 × local_h_tol`) AND
31//! at least one line flag is the outlier.
32//! * A corner with a local-H flag but NO line flag, where at least one
33//! of its 4 base neighbors has `≥ 1` line flags, blames the worst-
34//! line-flagged base instead (the base is the outlier).
35//! * When [`ValidationParams::step_deviation_thresh_rel`] is set, a
36//! corner whose local step deviates from the labelled-set median by
37//! more than the threshold AND has ≥ 1 line flag is also an outlier.
38//! * Otherwise (isolated local-H flag with no supporting evidence),
39//! defer — no blacklist entry in this iteration.
40//!
41//! The caller is expected to re-run the seed/grow/validate loop after
42//! updating its blacklist.
43//!
44//! # Pattern-agnostic
45//!
46//! This module has no dependency on chessboard-specific vocabulary
47//! (parity, axis clusters, label enums). Any caller that can produce
48//! a `(corner_index, pixel_position, grid_coord)` slice can use it.
49//! Consumers that carry per-stage metadata should pre-filter to the
50//! "labelled" subset before calling.
