L_UINT uLookupLen;

Updates a range of entries in the lookup table, based on the specified mathematical function.

Parameter

Description

pLookupTable

Pointer to the lookup table to be filled by this function. The length of the lookup table is specified in the uLookupLen parameter.

uLookupLen

Length of the lookup table pointed to by the pLookupTable parameter. It can be any value larger than 0.

nStart

Index of the first entry in the lookup table to update. The indices of the table correspond to the intensity values. If the value of this parameter is negative, the corresponding index of pLookupTable is equal to the value of this parameter + uLookupLen. The range of its possible value is between (-uLookupLen/2) and (uLookupLen/2 1).

nEnd

Index of the last entry in the lookup table to update. The indices of the table correspond to the intensity values. If the value of this parameter is negative, the corresponding index of pLookupTable is equal to the value of this parameter + uLookupLen. The range of its possible value is between (-uLookupLen/2) and (uLookupLen/2 1).

nFactor

Value that indicates the factor to be applied in the function operation specified in the uFlags parameter. This parameter is used only if uFlags is FLT_EXP, FLT_SIGMOID or FLT_LN. If FLT_EXP or FLT_SIGMOID is set in uFlags the value of this parameter can be any integer (+/-). If FLT_LN flag is set, its value should be >= 0. However, if nFactor = 0 the lookup table will be filled linearly from nStart to nEnd, regardless of the value set in uFlags.

uFlags

Flag that indicates the function used to update the lookup table and whether the pLookupTable should contain signed or unsigned data.

 

Flags indicate the function used to update the lookup table:

 

Value

Meaning

 

FLT_EXP

[0x0000] Apply the exponential function.

 

FLT_LN

[0x0001] Apply the natural logarithm function.

 

FLT_LINEAR

[0x0002] Apply the linear function.

 

FLT_SIGMOID

[0x0003] Apply the sigmoid function.

 

Flag indicates whether the pLookupTable should contain signed or unsigned data:

 

FLT_SIGNED

[0x0010] pLookupTable should contain signed data.

Returns

SUCCESS

The function was successful.

< 1

An error occurred. Refer to Return Codes.

Comments

This function will update the lookup table array using the predefined function specified in the uFlags parameter. In most cases, this function is used with the L_RemapBitmapIntensity function.

If the value of (nEnd - nStart) exceeds the uLookupLen, the function returns ERROR_INV_PARAMETER error code.

The nFactor parameter is used for log, exp and sigmoid functions only. If nFactor = 0 the function performs a linear interpolation between the two points nStart and nEnd and stores the results in the lookup table, regardless of the value set in uFlags.

If uFlags is FLT_EXP the value of nFactor modifies the lookup table values (see figure below) according to the following equations:

Y

=

nYStart

+

(nYEnd-nYStart) * (exp ((nFactor/10.0 * (x-nStart))/(nEnd-nStart)) - nFirstValue)

 

 

 

 

(nLastValue nFirstValue)

where :

nYStart = The Lookup table value at nStart.

nYEnd = The Lookup table value at nEnd.

nFirstValue = exp(0).

nLastValue = exp(nFactor/10.0)

x = the intensity value of the selected point

If uFlags is FLT_LN the value of nFactor modifies the lookup table values (see figure below) according to the following equations:

Y

=

nYStart

+

(nYEnd-nYStart) * (ln (1 + (nFactor/10.0 * (x-nStart))/(nEnd- nStart)) - nFirstValue)

 

 

 

 

(nLastValue nFirstValue)

where:

nYStart = The Lookup table value at nStart.

nYEnd = The Lookup table value at nEnd.

nFirstValue = 0.

nLastValue = ln(1 + nFactor/10.0)

x = the intensity value of the selected point

image\WinLevel1.gif

If uFlags is FLT_SIGMOID the value of nFactor modifies the lookup table values (see figure below) according to the following equations:

Y

=

nYStart

+

(nYEnd nYStart) * (1./ (1 + exp(2*nFactor/10. * (x-Center))/(nEnd- nStart)) - nFirstValue)

 

 

 

 

(nLastValue nFirstValue)

where:

nYStart = The Lookup table value at nStart.

nYEnd = The Lookup table value at nEnd.

nFirstValue = 1./(1+exp(2.*nFactor/10.*(nStart - Center)/ (nEnd- nStart))).

nLastValue = 1./(1+exp(2.*nFactor/10.*(nEnd - Center)/ (nEnd- nStart))).

Center = (nEnd + nStart)/2.

x = the intensity value of the selected point

If uFlags is FLT_LINEAR, nFactor is ignored. The function performs a linear interpolation between the two points (nStart, nYStart) and (nEnd, nYEnd) and stores the results in the lookup table. Where

As an example, suppose a user wants to select a point, change the intensity value of that point (x), and then perform two linear interpolations:

To accomplish this, the user would proceed by doing the following:

pLookupTable[0] = 0;
pLookupTable[x] = newIntensity;
 

pLookupTable[x] = newIntensity;//This can be ignored, because the lookup table should have the same value from the previous steps.
pLookupTable[nEnd] = uLookupLen;
 

For another example, please refer to the example for L_RemapBitmapIntensity.
