L_LTIMGCOR_API L_INT L_HolePunchRemoveBitmap(pBitmap, pHolePunch, pfnCallback, pUserData, uFlags)

pBITMAPHANDLE pBitmap;

/* pointer to the bitmap */

pHOLEPUNCH pHolePunch;

/* pointer to a structure */

HOLEPUNCHREMOVECALLBACK pfnCallback;

/* optional callback function */

L_VOID *pUserData;

/* pointer to more parameters for the callback */

Finds and removes hole punches.

Parameter

Description

pBitmap

Pointer to the bitmap handle referencing the bitmap from which to remove hole punches.

pHolePunch

Pointer to the HOLEPUNCH structure that LEADTOOLS uses to remove hole punches.

pfnCallback

Optional callback function for additional processing.

 

  •  If you do not provide a callback function, use NULL as the value of this parameter.

 

  •  If you do provide a callback function, use the function pointer as the value of this parameter.

 

The callback function must adhere to the function prototype described in HOLEPUNCHREMOVECALLBACK Function.

pUserData

Void pointer that you can use to pass one or more additional parameters that the callback function needs.

 

To use this feature, assign a value to a variable or create a structure that contains as many fields as you need. Then, in this parameter, pass the address of the variable or structure, casting it to L_VOID  *. The callback function, which receives the address in its own pUserData parameter, can cast it to a pointer of the appropriate data type to access your variable or structure.

 

If the additional parameters are not needed, you can pass NULL in this parameter.

uFlags

A flag that determine the method used to detect the Hole punch, possible values are:

 

Flags

Meaning

 

HOLEPUNCH_NORMAL_DETECTION

[0x00000000] Use Normal Hole Punch Detection

 

HOLEPUNCH_ADVANCED_DETECTION

[0x00010000] Use Advanced Hole Punch Detection to return more accurate results

Returns

SUCCESS

The function was successful.

< 1

An error occurred. Refer to Return Codes.

Comments

For example, this image must have the vertical line removed. You can use L_LineRemoveBitmap to remove any horizontal or vertical lines from the image.  Use other Document Cleanup functions to remove other imaging artifacts such as dots, blobs, borders, inverted text, bumps and nicks.  This will have the added benefit of making your image smaller when compressed.

Once cleaned,  L_HolePunchRemoveBitmap will be able to identify and remove the hole punch mark.

Example

This example returns a windows region corresponding to hole punches. For the example, a windows region is returned and converted to a LEAD region but in practice it would easier and faster to just return a LEAD region. The HOLEPUNCH_USE_DPI flag instructs the API to determine the size of the hole punches based on the image DPI The image is modified. A callback is used to display information about each hole punch removed. The callback does NOT return a region.
