DespeckleCommand Class

Summary

Removes speckles from an image. Typically, this command is used to clean up scanned images (such as FAX images). This command is available in the Document/Medical Toolkits.

Syntax

Objective-C

C++

Java

public class DespeckleCommand : RasterCommand

Public Class DespeckleCommand  
   Inherits RasterCommand

@interface LTDespeckleCommand : LTRasterCommand

public class DespeckleCommand extends RasterCommand

public ref class DespeckleCommand : public RasterCommand

Remarks

This command removes 1-pixel speckles, and shrinks some larger speckles. Therefore, in some cases, larger speckles can be completely removed by running it more than once.
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 does not support 32-bit grayscale images.
This command supports signed/unsigned data images.

For more information, refer to Removing Noise.

Example

Runs the DespeckleCommand on an image and removes speckles from it.
