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

Objective-C

C++

Java

public class AlignImagesCommand : RasterCommand

Public Class AlignImagesCommand  
   Inherits RasterCommand

@interface LTAlignImagesCommand : LTRasterCommand

public class AlignImagesCommand extends RasterCommand

public ref class AlignImagesCommand : public RasterCommand

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.
