L_MaxFilterBitmap

#include "l_bitmap.h"

L_INT EXT_FUNCTION L_MaxFilterBitmap(pBitmap, uDim)

pBITMAPHANDLE pBitmap;

/* pointer to the bitmap handle */

L_UINT uDim;

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

Erodes dark objects by the specified amount.

This function is available in the Document/Medical 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.

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 only in the Document/Medical 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 maximum value of its neighborhood.

This function does not support signed data images. It returns the error code ERROR_SIGNED_DATA_NOT_SUPPORTED if a signed data image is passed to this function.
