ImageProcessing Object

Summary

Provides support for image processing on an HTML5 ImageData.

Syntax
TypeScript
JavaScript
function lt.ImageProcessing 
class lt.ImageProcessing() 
Remarks

The LEADTOOLS JavaScript ImageProcessing class allows you to perform various image processing commands on an HTML5 ImageData object.

ImageProcessing uses HTML5 a web worker to run the command in a separate thread. If the browser does not support web workers, then the work is emulated in the same thread. The RunInMainThread property can be used to force the command to not use a web worker and run the command in the current thread.

The nature of web workers dictate that the code behind is stored in a separate JavaScript file. This file does not have to be part of your page script; instead it is loaded dynamically when the command is run.

Follow these steps to run an image processing command:

  1. Create a new instance of ImageProcessing

  2. Set the JavaScript file name to use in the JSFilePath property. For a list of supported file names, refer to LEADTOOLS JavaScript Image Processing

  3. Set the desired command name in Command and any required arguments. Refer to the topic above for a list of supported command names and their arguments

  4. Set the source HTML5 canvas ImageData object in the ImageData property. The image data can be obtained from the drawing context of any canvas in your application or from LEADTOOLS Image Viewer.

  5. Subscribe to the Completed event. This is not optional since web workers do not allow changing the source data (in this case, the source image data). The event will contain the updated image data. If the command contains out parameters, you can query them from the event data as well

  6. Optionally, subscribe to the Progress event to obtain a progress report

  7. Call the Run method

  8. When the command finishes, the Completed event fires, set the image data back into the drawing context. If the command contains out parameters, you can query them from the event data as well

  9. Finally, at anytime after the Run is called, you can call Abort to abort the current operation. The original data will not be affected

During any of the above, if an error occurs, the Error event fires with Error containing the error object.

This example shows how to perform image processing on a canvas.
