L_MinFilterBitmap

#include "l_bitmap.h"

L_LTIMGCOR_API L_INT L_MinFilterBitmap(pBitmap, uDim, uFlags)

pBITMAPHANDLE pBitmap;

/* pointer to the bitmap handle */

L_UINT uDim;

/* dimensions of the neighborhood (uDim x uDim), in pixels */

L_UINT32 uFlags;

/* flags*/

Dilates dark objects by the specified amount.

This function is available in the Document and Medical Imaging toolkits.

Parameter

Description

pBitmap

Pointer to the bitmap handle that references the bitmap to be affected.

uDim

Dimensions of the neighborhood used for filtering (uDim x uDim), in pixels.

uFlags

Reserved for future use. Must be 0.

Returns

SUCCESS

The function was successful.

< 1

An error occurred. Refer to Return Codes.

Comments

This function can process the whole image or a region of the image.

This function 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 in the Document and Medical Imaging toolkits.

The effect can be controlled by specifying the size of the neighborhood that is used for calculating each pixel value. For example, for 8x8, pass 8 in the uDim parameter. Each pixel is replaced with the minimum value of its neighborhood.

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 a min filter to it. 

#if defined (LEADTOOLS_V16_OR_LATER)
 L_INT MinFilterBitmapExample(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("%UserProfile%\\My Documents\\LEADTOOLS Images\\IMAGE1.CMP"), &LeadBitmap, sizeof(BITMAPHANDLE), 0, ORDER_BGR, NULL, NULL);
   if(nRet !=SUCCESS)
      return nRet;
   /* Apply the min filter */
   nRet = L_MinFilterBitmap(&LeadBitmap, 3 , 0);
   if(nRet !=SUCCESS)
      return nRet;
   nRet = L_SaveBitmap(TEXT("%UserProfile%\\My Documents\\LEADTOOLS 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;
}
