LBitmap::AdaptiveContrast

#include "ltwrappr.h"

virtual L_INT LBitmap::AdaptiveContrast (uDim, uAmount, uFlags)

Performs adaptive contrast enhancement (ACE) to regions that are originally low in contrast.

Returns

Comments

Adaptive contrast enhancement (ACE) adjusts bitmap contrast by giving more contrast to areas which are originally low in contrast. This is different from histogram-based techniques which are based on all bitmap pixels (the histogram itself).

Local histogram equalization is another technique that can be used to reveal detail of areas, since it depends on area pixels only. Use LBitmap::LocalHistoEqualize to perform a local histogram equalization.

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

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.

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.
