L_LTIMGEFX_API L_INT L_EdgeDetectorBitmap(pBitmap, nThreshold, uFilter, uFlags)
Applies the specified edge filter to the specified bitmap.
Pointer to the bitmap handle that references the bitmap on which to apply the edge filter.
Threshold value used to determine which pixels are edge pixels. If the difference determined for a pixel is greater than this value, the pixel is an edge pixel.
Flag that indicates which edge detection filter to apply. Possible values are:
Value | Meaning |
---|---|
EDG_SOBEL_VERT | [0x0101] Detect the vertical edges |
EDG_SOBEL_HORZ | [0x0102] Detect the horizontal edges |
EDG_SOBEL_ALL | [0x0103] Detect horizontal & vertical edges |
EDG_PREWITT_VERT | [0x0201] Detect the vertical edges |
EDG_PREWITT_HORZ | [0x0202] Detect the horizontal edges |
EDG_PREWITT_ALL | [0x0203] Detect horizontal & vertical edges |
EDG_LAPLACE_1 | [0x0301] Detect vertical & horizontal edges |
EDG_LAPLACE_2 | [0x0302] Detect general edges |
EDG_LAPLACE_3 | [0x0303] Detect general edges. (The filter used for this option is different than the filter used for the EDG_LAPLACE_2 filter.) |
EDG_LAPLACE_DIAG | [0x0304] Detect the diagonal edges |
EDG_LAPLACE_HORZ | [0x0305] Detect the horizontal edges |
EDG_LAPLACE_VERT | [0x0306] Detect the vertical edges |
EDG_GRADIENT_N | [0x0401] Detect north edges |
EDG_GRADIENT_NE | [0x0402] Detect north east edges |
EDG_GRADIENT_E | [0x0403] Detect east edges |
EDG_GRADIENT_SE | [0x0404] Detect south east edges |
EDG_GRADIENT_S | [0x0405] Detect south edges |
EDG_GRADIENT_SW | [0x0406] Detect south west edges |
EDG_GRADIENT_W | [0x0407] Detect west edges |
EDG_GRADIENT_NW | [0x0408] Detect north west edges |

SUCCESS | The function was successful. |
< 1 | An error occurred. Refer to Return Codes. |
Filters such as Sobel filter, Prewitt filter, Laplacian filter, and Gradient filter are used to determine the pixels belonging to edges in the bitmap.
This function can process the whole image or a region of the image.
This function 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 in the Document and Medical Imaging toolkits.
The threshold range for 16, 48 and 64-bit images is from 0 to 65535 for unsigned images, and from –32768 to +32767 for signed images. For 12-bit images, the threshold range is from 0 to 4095 for unsigned images, and from –2048 to +2047 for signed images. Otherwise, it is from 0 to 255. The threshold is applied to channels separately.
This function does not support 32-bit grayscale images. It returns the error code ERROR_GRAY32_UNSUPPORTED if a 32-bit grayscale image is passed to this function.
