Summary

Removes speckles from an image. Typically, this operation is used to clean up scanned images (such as FAX images). This operation is available in the Document/Medical Toolkits.

Syntax

C#
VB
C++
[FaultContractAttribute(System.Type)] 
[OperationContractAttribute(Action="Despeckle", 
   AsyncPattern=false, 
   IsOneWay=false, 
   IsInitiating=true, 
   IsTerminating=false)] 
public CommandResponse Despeckle( 
   DespeckleRequest request 
) 
  
<FaultContractAttribute(DetailType=Leadtools.Services.Raster.FaultContracts.RasterFault,  
   Action="",  
   Name="",  
   Namespace="",  
   ProtectionLevel=ProtectionLevel.None,  
   HasProtectionLevel=False)> 
<OperationContractAttribute("Despeckle")> 
Function Despeckle( _ 
   ByVal request As Leadtools.Services.Imageprocessing.Datacontracts.DespeckleRequest _ 
) As Leadtools.Services.Imageprocessing.Datacontracts.CommandResponse 
[FaultContractAttribute(DetailType=Leadtools.Services.Raster.FaultContracts.RasterFault,  
   Action="",  
   Name="",  
   Namespace="",  
   ProtectionLevel=ProtectionLevel.None,  
   HasProtectionLevel=false)] 
[OperationContractAttribute("Despeckle")] 
Leadtools.Services.Imageprocessing.Datacontracts.CommandResponse^ Despeckle(  
   Leadtools.Services.Imageprocessing.Datacontracts.DespeckleRequest^ request 
)  

Parameters

request
A System.Runtime.Serialization.DataContractAttribute containing the data that will be used in this Despeckle operation.

Return Value

A System.Runtime.Serialization.DataContractAttribute containing the modified image resulting from the Despeckle operation.

Remarks
  • This operation removes 1-pixel speckles, and shrinks some larger speckles. Therefore, in some cases, larger speckles can be completely removed by running it more than once.
  • This operation 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 operation does not support 32-bit grayscale images.
