====== Calc Canonical Feature Map ======

===== Description =====

Calculate the canonical representing of the given feature map. The cells of the canonical feature representation are always connected using a [[wp>Von_Neumann_neighborhood|Von Neumann neighbohood]] cross pattern. This representation has the advantage of turning features into barriers, preventing them from being "crossed" by cost surface calculations.

===== Inputs =====

^ Name  ^ Type  ^ Description  ^
| Features  | [[Categorical Map Type]]  | The input features. All features must be one cell wide.  |

===== Output =====

^ Name  ^ Type  ^ Description  ^
| Normalized Canonical Features  | [[Categorical Map Type]]  | The normalized canonical feature map. The cells of the canonical feature representation are always connected using a Von Neumann neighbohood (cross pattern). The cells are normalized to be represented as either 1 (feature) or 0 (non-feature).  |
