Leadtools.ImageProcessing.Effects Namespace : EdgeDetectorCommand Class



Applies the specified edge filter to an image. This command is available in the Document Toolkits.

Syntax

Visual Basic (Declaration) 
Public Class EdgeDetectorCommand 
   Inherits RasterCommand
   Implements IRasterCommand 
Visual Basic (Usage)Copy Code
Dim instance As EdgeDetectorCommand
C# 
public class EdgeDetectorCommand : RasterCommand, IRasterCommand 
C++/CLI 
public ref class EdgeDetectorCommand : public RasterCommand, IRasterCommand 

Example

Run the EdgeDetectorCommand on an image.

Visual BasicCopy Code
Public Sub EdgeDetectorCommandExample()
   RasterCodecs.Startup()
   Dim codecs As New RasterCodecs()
   codecs.ThrowExceptionsOnInvalidImages = True

   Dim leadImage As RasterImage = codecs.Load(LeadtoolsExamples.Common.ImagesPath.Path + "Master.jpg")

   ' Prepare the command
   Dim command As EdgeDetectorCommand = New EdgeDetectorCommand
   command.Threshold = 60
   command.Filter = EdgeDetectorCommandType.SobelBoth
   'find the edges of the image.
   command.Run(leadImage)
   codecs.Save(leadImage, LeadtoolsExamples.Common.ImagesPath.Path + "Result.jpg", RasterImageFormat.Jpeg, 24)

   RasterCodecs.Shutdown()
End Sub
C#Copy Code
public void EdgeDetectorCommandExample() 
{ 
   // Load an image 
   RasterCodecs.Startup(); 
   RasterCodecs codecs = new RasterCodecs(); 
   codecs.ThrowExceptionsOnInvalidImages = true; 
 
   RasterImage image = codecs.Load(LeadtoolsExamples.Common.ImagesPath.Path + "Master.jpg"); 
 
   // Prepare the command 
   EdgeDetectorCommand command = new EdgeDetectorCommand(); 
   command.Threshold = 60; 
   command.Filter = EdgeDetectorCommandType.SobelBoth; 
   //find the edges of the image. 
   command.Run(image); 
   codecs.Save(image, LeadtoolsExamples.Common.ImagesPath.Path + "Result.jpg", RasterImageFormat.Jpeg, 24); 
 
   RasterCodecs.Shutdown(); 
}

Remarks

  • Filters such as Sobel filter, Prewitt filter, Laplacian filter, and Gradient filter are used to determine the pixels belonging to edges in the image.
  • The threshold range for the 16, 48, and 64-bit images is from 0 to 65535 and for 12-bit images from 0 to 4095. Otherwise, it is from 0 to 255. The threshold is applied on channels separately.
  • This command 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.
  • This command does not support 32-bit grayscale images.
