[Gimp-developer] [Patch] some more gint->gboolean changes.

[David Odin]

  Hi,

I've sent this before, but the gimp's source tree changes too fast...

This patch basically fix some function prototype which are said to
return gint when they really return gboolean. I know this is not that
important, but imho, gimp's sources look better with this patch ;-).

Please apply.

P.S: Sven, this is an adaptation of the previous patch I sent you. I'm
 sorry, I've lost your answer during a mutt crash :-(

This is more complicated than one'd normally expect from an image
manipulation program, but a possible way to go might be to edge
detect, threshold, dilate a few pixels, erod a few pixels (gets rid 
of some noise), and then use something like a circular Hough
transformto check whether a point is a good estimator of the
centre of the circle (this will also give radius estimators), and
then count them. The first few stages of that could definitely be
done in the gimp, but you'd be on your own for the complicated
part (the Hough transform, which is described in (among many
others) "Image Processing, Analysis and Computer Vision" by
Sonka, Hlavak and Boyle).

But as with all reasonably complicated image processing
(automated counting of objects is complicated, I'm afraid) there
are many approaches. You might try one or more of the image
analysis/processing newsgroups for more help.

Cheers,
Dave.
