MinimumToZeroCommand Class

Converts grayscale signed image to an unsigned one by shifting all the negative value of the image data, so the minimum negative value will be zero.

public class MinimumToZeroCommand : Leadtools.ImageProcessing.RasterCommand, Leadtools.ImageProcessing.IRasterCommand

'Declaration

Public Class MinimumToZeroCommand 
   Inherits Leadtools.ImageProcessing.RasterCommand
   Implements Leadtools.ImageProcessing.IRasterCommand

'Usage

Dim instance As MinimumToZeroCommand

public sealed class MinimumToZeroCommand : Leadtools.ImageProcessing.IRasterCommand

@interface LTMinimumToZeroCommand : LTRasterCommand

public class MinimumToZeroCommand extends RasterCommand

function Leadtools.ImageProcessing.Core.MinimumToZeroCommand()

public ref class MinimumToZeroCommand : public Leadtools.ImageProcessing.RasterCommand, Leadtools.ImageProcessing.IRasterCommand

Remarks

This command is similar to ConvertSignedToUnsignedCommand. This command automatically determines the value to be shift in order to convert the image to unsigned image.

This command is used usually before the command ZeroToNegativeCommand.

This command updates the Signed property of the RasterImage.

This command also updates the MinValue and MaxValue properties of the RasterImage.

This command does not support 8-bit images.

This command 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 command supports signed data images.

This command does not support 32-bit grayscale images.

In Silverlight versions of LEADTOOLS, this image processing command will fail if the image data for the RasterImage object is stored internally using a Silverlight WriteableBitmap object. For more information, refer to Image Processing Command Limitations in Silverlight.

Example

This command will apply MultiscaleEnhancementCommand on a signed image, but since the MultiscaleEnhancementCommand does not support signed images, we will convert the image to an unsigned image, apply the effect, and then convert it back to a signed image.
