L_ShiftMinimumToZero

#include "l_bitmap.h"

L_LTIMGCOR_API L_INT L_ShiftMinimumToZero(pBitmap, puShiftAmount, uFlags)

pBITMAPHANDLE pBitmap;	pointer to the bitmap handle
L_UINT *puShiftAmount;	pointer to the shifting amount
L_UINT32 uFlags;	flags

Converts the signed bitmap to an unsigned bitmap by increasing/shifting the bitmap's intensity values, so the lowest intensity value (the most negative value) will be shifted to zero.

Parameter	Description
pBitmap	Pointer to the bitmap handle referencing the bitmap to convert.
puShiftAmount	Pointer to a variable to be updated with the value by which the intensity values were shifted.
uFlags	Reserved for future use. Must be 0.

Returns

SUCCESS	The function was successful.
< 1	An error occurred. Refer to Return Codes.

Comments

This function is similar to L_ConvertBitmapSignedToUnsigned. However, L_ShiftMinimumToZero updates the puShiftAmount parameter with the value by which the intensity values were shifted.

The L_ShiftMinimumToZero and L_ShiftZeroToNegative are most often used in concert with one or more image processing or analysis functions. L_ShiftMinimumToZero converts signed data to unsigned data, in preparation for some image processing or analysis. (Most image processing functions work only on unsigned data.) After the image processing or analysis is performed, L_ShiftZeroToNegative converts the unsigned data back to signed data.

This function updates the pBitmap->Flags.Signed, MinVal and MaxVal members of the BITMAPHANDLE.

This function doesnt support 8-bit 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.

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 function will apply L_MultiScaleEnhancementBitmap on a signed image, but since L_MultiScaleEnhancementBitmap doesn’t support signed images, we will convert the image to unsigned image, apply the effect, and then convert it back to signed image.
