L_AddWeightedBitmaps

#include "l_bitmap.h"

L_LTIMGCLR_API L_INT L_AddWeightedBitmaps(pBitmap, uStructSize, hList, puFactor, uFlags)

pBITMAPHANDLE pBitmap;

pointer to the bitmap handle

L_UINT uStructSize;

size of the BITMAPHANDLE structure

HBITMAPLIST hList;

handle to the list of bitmaps

L_UINT *puFactor;

array of weight factors

L_UINT uFlags;

operation flag

Adds or averages the bitmaps in a list according to their weight factors.

Parameter Description
pBitmap Pointer to the bitmap handle that references the resulting bitmap.
uStructSize Size in bytes, of the structure pointed to by pBitmap, for versioning. Use sizeof(BITMAPHANDLE).
hList Handle to the list of bitmaps.
puFactor Array of unsigned integer values that represent weights associated with the bitmaps in the specified list. Used only if uFlags is BC_ADDWEIGHTED or BC_AVGWEIGHTED.
uFlags Flag that indicates the operation to perform. Possible values are:
  Value Meaning
  BC_AVG [0x0001] Average the bitmaps in the specified list.
  BC_ADD [0x0002] Add the bitmaps in the specified list.
  BC_AVGWEIGHTED [0x0003] Average the bitmaps in the specified list, according to the array of weight factors, puFactor.
  BC_ADDWEIGHTED [0x0004] Add the bitmaps in the specified list, according to the array of weight factors, puFactor.

Returns

SUCCESS

The function was successful.

< 1

An error occurred. Refer to Return Codes.

Comments

This function can be used to modify the brightness (with the add operations) or remove the noise (with the average operations). Typically, you would call this function for a series of images taken of the same object at short intervals.

The sign flag in the BITMAPHANDLE structure must be the same for all images listed. That is, all hList images must be either signed or unsigned.

If the value of uFlags parameter is:

This function performs operations between data byte-by-byte. An image can be any color resolution. The resulting image of this operation will be allocated in the pBitmap where it is internally copied from the first image in the list. The operations are performed based on the smallest width and height of the input images.

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 in the Document and Medical Imaging toolkits.

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

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.

Example

This example creates a bitmap list by making copies of one bitmap, and rotating each copy by 72 degrees from the orientation of the previous copy. Then the bitmaps are averaged together.
