LBitmap::HighPassFilter

#include "ltwrappr.h"

L_INT LBitmap::HighPassFilter(uRadius, uOpacity)

L_UINT uRadius;

/* radius of the neighborhood*/

L_UINT uOpacity;

/* opacity */

Removes low frequency details in a bitmap, resulting in a sharpened image. This function is available in the Raster Pro and above toolkits.

Parameter

Description

uRadius

Value greater than 0 that indicates the radius of the neighborhood on which the filter is applied, in pixels.

uOpacity

Value that represents the intensity of the effect. The valid range is from 0 to 100. At 100, only the object outlines remain.

Returns

SUCCESS

The function was successful.

< 1

An error occurred. Refer to Return Codes.

Comments

This filter removes low-frequency detail in the bitmap. The effect is opposite to that of the Gaussian Blur filter (LBitmap::GaussianFilter).

To increase the thickness of the edges, increase the value of uRadius. Usually a low value for uRadius is better.

Unlike the LBitmap::UnsharpMask function, when using this function image noise is not increased.

If the bitmap has a region, the effect will be applied on the region only.

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 LBase::EnableStatusCallback.

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.
