HistogramContrastCommand Class

Summary
Increases or decreases the contrast of the image, using a histogram to determine the median brightness.
Syntax
C#
Objective-C
C++/CLI
Java
Python
public class HistogramContrastCommand : RasterCommand 
@interface LTHistogramContrastCommand : LTRasterCommand 
public class HistogramContrastCommand 
    extends RasterCommand 
public ref class HistogramContrastCommand : public RasterCommand   
class HistogramContrastCommand(RasterCommand): 
Remarks
  • This class finds the median brightness of the image, then brightens the pixels with values above the median and darkens the pixels with values below the median. This is more sophisticated (but slower) than the ChangeContrastCommand, which uses the middle possible value (128) rather than finding the actual median.
  • This class 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 does not support 32-bit grayscale images.

For more information, refer to Changing Brightness and Contrast.

If the image has a LUT and you want to work on the image data, set RasterImage.UseLookupTable to false. Then, after calling the method, reset the UselookupTable property to true, as follows:

rasterImage.UseLookupTable = false; 
Method(rasterImage); 
rasterImage.UseLookupTable = true;

Example

Run the HistogramContrastCommand on an image and increase its contrast.

C#
Java
using Leadtools; 
using Leadtools.Codecs; 
using Leadtools.ImageProcessing.Color; 
 
 
public void HistogramContrastCommandExample() 
{ 
   // Load an image 
   RasterCodecs codecs = new RasterCodecs(); 
   codecs.ThrowExceptionsOnInvalidImages = true; 
 
   RasterImage image = codecs.Load(Path.Combine(LEAD_VARS.ImagesDir, "IMAGE1.CMP")); 
 
   // Prepare the command 
   HistogramContrastCommand command = new HistogramContrastCommand(); 
   //Increase the contrast using the histogram by 25 percent of the possible range. 
   command.Contrast = 250; 
   command.Run(image); 
   codecs.Save(image, Path.Combine(LEAD_VARS.ImagesDir, "Result.jpg"), RasterImageFormat.Jpeg, 24);
