isConsideredLine method

bool isConsideredLine()

Determines if the current Matrix is considered a line based on its aspect ratio.

This method calculates the aspect ratio of the Matrix's content and checks if it falls within a specific range to determine if it should be considered a line.

Returns:

• true if the aspect ratio is less than 0.25 or greater than 50, indicating that the Matrix is likely representing a line.
• false otherwise, suggesting the Matrix is not representing a line.

The aspect ratio is calculated by the aspectRatioOfContent() method, which is assumed to return width divided by height of the Matrix's content. Therefore:

• A very small aspect ratio (< 0.25) indicates a tall, narrow Matrix.
• A very large aspect ratio (> 50) indicates a wide, short Matrix. Both of these cases are considered to be line-like in this context.

This method is useful in image processing or OCR tasks where distinguishing between line-like structures and other shapes is important.

Implementation

bool isConsideredLine() {
  final double ar = aspectRatioOfContent();
  if (ar < 0.09 || ar > 50) {
    return true;
  }
  return false;
}
