L_AddBitmapNoise

#include "l_bitmap.h"

L_LTIMGEFX_API L_INT L_AddBitmapNoise(pBitmap, uRange, uChannel)

pBITMAPHANDLE pBitmap;	/* pointer to the bitmap handle */
L_UINT uRange;	/* percentage of coverage */
L_UINT uChannel;	/* color plane constant */

Adds random pixels to a bitmap, letting you specify the percentage of coverage and the color plane.

Parameter	Description
pBitmap	Pointer to the bitmap handle referencing the bitmap to process.
uRange	Percentage of coverage, expressed in tenths of a percent. Valid values are 0 to 1000.
uChannel	Possible values are:
	Value	Meaning
	CHANNEL_MASTER	[0] All channels.
	CHANNEL_RED	[1] Red channel only.
	CHANNEL_GREEN	[2] Green channel only.
	CHANNEL_BLUE	[3] Blue channel only.

Returns

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

Comments

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.

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

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.

Use this function in order to add random noise to a bitmap.

Use the L_PerlinBitmap function to use a pseudo-random number generator in order to create a Perlin noise, and then procedurally transform that noise into a texture. Depending on the flags that are set, the texture can be saved as a bitmap by itself, or the texture can be combined with another bitmap. For more information, refer to Using the L_PerlinBitmap function.

Use the L_CloudsBitmap function in order to use Perlin equations to generate pseudo-random noise, and then procedurally transform that noise into a cloud-like texture. The L_CloudsBitmap function applies equations to the Perlin noise that are different than those used by the L_PerlinBitmap function.

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

For complete sample code, refer to the CHILD.C module of the DEMO example. This example loads a bitmap and adds red noise to it.

 L_INT AddBitmapNoiseExample(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;

   /* Add red noise with 25 percent coverage */
   nRet = L_AddBitmapNoise(&LeadBitmap, 250, CHANNEL_RED);
   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;
