L_IntensityDetectBitmap

#include "l_bitmap.h"

L_LTIMGCLR_API L_INT L_IntensityDetectBitmap(pBitmap, uLow, uHigh, crInColor, crOutColor, uChannel)

pBITMAPHANDLE pBitmap;	/* pointer to the bitmap handle */
L_UINT uLow;	/* lowest intensity to detect */
L_UINT uHigh;	/* highest intensity to detect */
COLORREF crInColor;	/* color used to fill the inner segment */
COLORREF crOutColor;	/* color used to fill the outer segment */
L_UINT uChannel;	/* channel to be processed */

Applies binary segmentation to a bitmap by filtering the specified bitmap to detect colors in a specified intensity range, in the specified color channel(s). This function is also useful for pre-processing images for the purposes of improving barcode recognition results.

Parameter	Description
pBitmap	Pointer to the bitmap handle referencing the bitmap.
uLow	Lowest intensity to detect. Possible values range from 0 - 65535 for 64-bit, 48-bit and 16-bit grayscale images and from 0 - 4095 for 12-bit grayscale images. Otherwise, it is from 0 to 255..
uHigh	Highest intensity to detect. Possible values range from 0 - 65535 for 64-bit, 48-bit and 16-bit grayscale images and from 0 - 4095 for 12-bit grayscale images. Otherwise, it is from 0 to 255.
crInColor	The color used to fill those pixels having an intensity value between uLow and uHigh. This parameter has no effect if the uChannel parameter is set to IDB_CHANNEL_MASTER. If for example the uChannel parameter is set to IDB_CHANNEL_RED, then the red component of crInColor will be used to fill the pixels having a red component value between uLow and uHigh.
crOutColor	The color used to fill those pixels having an intensity value less than uLow or greater than uHigh. This parameter has no effect if the uChannel parameter is IDB_CHANNEL_MASTER. If for example the uChannel parameter is set to IDB_CHANNEL_RED, then the red component of crOutColor will be used to fill the pixels having a red component value less than uLow or greater than uHigh.
uChannel	A value that indicates the channel to process. Possible values are:
	Value	Meaning
	IDB_CHANNEL_MASTER	[0x0000] Grayscale Channel.
	IDB_CHANNEL_RED	[0x0001] Red Channel.
	IDB_CHANNEL_GREEN	[0x0010] Green Channel.
	IDB_CHANNEL_BLUE	[0x0100] Blue Channel.

Returns

SUCCESS	The function was successful.
< 1	An error occurred. Refer to Return Codes.

Comments

The image is divided into two parts inner and outer according to the values of uLow and uHigh.

The function can process 2 or more channels at a time by OR-ing two or more flags.

The function can obtain the same result of the old L_IntensityDetectBitmap(pBitmap, uLow, uHigh) of version 13 and before by passing the following parameters:

L_IntensityDetectBitmap(pBitmap, uLow, uHigh, RGB(0, 0, 0), RGB(255, 255, 255), CHANNEL_RED | CHANNEL_GREEN | CHANNEL_BLUE);

This function also supports 12 and 16-bit grayscale and 48 and 64-bit color images. Support for 12 and 16-bit grayscale and 48 and 64-bit color images is available only in the Document/Medical toolkits.

To update a status bar or detect a user interrupt during execution of this function, refer to L_SetStatusCallback.

This function does not support 32-bit grayscale images. It returns the error code ERROR_GRAY32_UNSUPPORTED if a 32-bit grayscale image is passed to this function.

Example

This example loads a bitmap and applies the filter on it.

 L_INT IntensityDetectBitmapExample(L_VOID)
{
   L_INT nRet;
   BITMAPHANDLE LeadBitmap;   /* Bitmap handle to hold the loaded image. */

   /* Load the bitmap, keeping the bits per pixel of the file */
   nRet = L_LoadBitmap (TEXT("C:\\Program Files\\LEAD Technologies\\LEADTOOLS 15\\Images\\IMAGE1.CMP"), &LeadBitmap, sizeof(BITMAPHANDLE), 0, ORDER_BGR, NULL, NULL);
   if(nRet !=SUCCESS)
      return nRet;

   /* Apply the filter*/
   nRet = L_IntensityDetectBitmap(&LeadBitmap, 128, 255, RGB(0, 0, 0), RGB(255, 255, 255), IDB_CHANNEL_MASTER);
   if(nRet !=SUCCESS)
      return nRet;
   nRet = L_SaveBitmap(TEXT("C:\\Program Files\\LEAD Technologies\\LEADTOOLS 15\\Images\\Result.BMP"), &LeadBitmap, FILE_BMP, 24, 0, NULL);
   if(nRet !=SUCCESS)
      return nRet;
   //free bitmap 
   if(LeadBitmap.Flags.Allocated)  
      L_FreeBitmap(&LeadBitmap);  
   return SUCCESS;
