L_SmoothEdgesBitmap

#include "l_bitmap.h"

L_INT EXT_FUNCTION L_SmoothEdgesBitmap(pBitmap, uAmount, uThreshold)

pBITMAPHANDLE pBitmap;	/* pointer to the bitmap handle */
L_UINT uAmount;	/* blur size */
L_UINT uThreshold;	/* threshold value */

Smoothes the rough edges in the image.

Parameter	Description
pBitmap	Pointer to the bitmap handle that references the bitmap on which to apply the effect.
uAmount	This is a percentage value that indicates blur size. 0 means no blurring and 100 means total blurring.
uThreshold	Threshold value used to determine which pixels are edge pixels. If the difference determined for a pixel is greater than this value, the pixel is an edge. Valid values range from 0 through 65535 for 64-bit, 48-bit and 16-bit grayscale images and from 0 through 4095 for 12-bit grayscale images. Otherwise, it is from 0 to 255.

Returns

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

Comments

This function performs edge detection, then smoothes those edges that are found. The other points of the image are unchanged.

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.

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

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.

Example

BITMAPHANDLE LeadBitmap; /* Bitmap handle for the image */

/* Load a bitmap at its own bits per pixel */
L_LoadBitmap(TEXT("IMAGE3.CMP"), &LeadBitmap, sizeof(BITMAPHANDLE), 0, ORDER_BGR, NULL, NULL);

/* Apply the Smooth Edge effect to the image*/
L_SmoothEdgesBitmap(&LeadBitmap, 75, 0);
