# NeighbourListMakeChamfer

Get list of neighbours based on Chamfer metric

## SYNOPSIS

`#include "dip_neighbourlist.h"`

dip_Error dip_NeighbourListMakeChamfer ( pixelsize, maxdistance, coords, distance, resources )

## FUNCTION

A list `coords` is created with the relative coordinates to the neighbours of a pixel in an `pixelsize->size`-dimensional image. Here, neighbours are all pixels within a `maxdistance` distance. `pixelsize` gives the size of a pixel, and hence controls the size of the neighbourhood with `maxdistance`. Anisotropic pixel grids are supported. `distance` contains the distance to each of the neighbours in `coords`.

Distances between two pixels are taken to be the Euclidean distance. There are better metrics described in the literature for small neighbourhoods, that yield a more isotropic measure when compounded over longer distances. These are not implemented in this function.

`coords` and `distance` are allocated and tracked in `resources`.
