AlignImagesCommand Class

Summary

Aligns two images (the reference and template images) based on the locations of the input points. The images are combined, creating the RegisteredImage.

Syntax

C#
VB
Java
Objective-C
WinRT C#
C++
public class AlignImagesCommand : RasterCommand 
@interface LTAlignImagesCommand : LTRasterCommand 
public class AlignImagesCommand extends RasterCommand 
function Leadtools.ImageProcessing.Core.AlignImagesCommand() 

Remarks
  • The two images should have the same depth (i.e. Bits Per Pixel); otherwise, this class will throw an Invalid Parameter exception.
  • It is best to choose points that are far apart from each other.
  • The transformation performed depends upon the number of pairs of corresponding points given. As many as four pairs can be given.
  • Set the reference image using the Run method and set the template image using the TemplateImage property.
  • Set the template image before calling the Run method; otherwise, an Invalid Parameter exception will be thrown.
  • This function supports 12-bit and 16-bit grayscale and 48-bit and 64-bit color images. Support for 12-bit and 16-bit grayscale and 48-bit and 64-bit color images is available only in the Document and Medical Imaging toolkits.
  • This command supports signed/unsigned images.
