L_Keystone

#include "Ltimgcor.h"

L_LTIMGCOR_API L_INT L_Keystone(pBitmap, pPoints, pOutBitmap)

Performs inverse perspective transformation (keystoning) on an image.

Parameters

pBITMAPHANDLE pBitmap

Pointer to the bitmap handle to be rectified.

L_POINT* pPoints

Pointer to an L_POINT that contains the four polygon points on the bitmap that will be mapped to a rectangle.

pBITMAPHANDLE pOutBitmap

Pointer of a pointer to the bitmap handle that represents the resulting rectified bitmap.

Returns

Value	Meaning
SUCCESS	The function was successful.
< 1	An error occurred. Refer to Return Codes.

Comments

Frequently, images captured by portable devices are distorted because they are projected onto a surface at an angle. Vertical lines become slanted, etc. The L_Keystone function maps a polygon to a rectangle (an inverse perspective transformation), and can be used to correct the perspective of such images.

Use the L_Keystone or L_ManualPerspectiveDeskew function if there is planar deformation along all three axes. Use the L_UnWarp function if there is a cylindrical deformation.

The input pPoints should contain 4 polygon points. These points will become the corners of the rectangle and the rest of the pixels are shifted accordingly.

This function can only process entire images. It does not support regions.

This function supports 12- and 16-bit grayscale and 48- and 64-bit color images.

Example

This example loads a bitmap and adjusts its perspective view.

L_INT KeystoneExample(L_VOID) 
{ 
    L_INT nRet; 
    BITMAPHANDLE LeadBitmap;   /* Bitmap handle to hold the loaded image. */ 
    /* Load the bitmap, keeping the bits per pixel of the file */ 
    nRet = L_LoadBitmap (MAKE_IMAGE_PATH(TEXT("Master.jpg")), &LeadBitmap, sizeof(BITMAPHANDLE), 0, ORDER_BGR, NULL, NULL); 
    if(nRet !=SUCCESS) 
        return nRet; 
 
    /* Apply a Keystone filter */ 
    BITMAPHANDLE OutBitmap; 
    L_POINT pPoints[4] ; 
 
    pPoints[0].x =  94 ; 
    pPoints[0].y =  94 ; 
    pPoints[1].x = 306 ; 
    pPoints[1].y =  43 ; 
    pPoints[2].x = 318 ; 
    pPoints[2].y = 237 ; 
    pPoints[3].x =  98 ; 
    pPoints[3].y = 237 ; 
 
    nRet = L_Keystone(&LeadBitmap, pPoints, &OutBitmap); 
    if (nRet == SUCCESS) 
        nRet = L_SaveBitmap(MAKE_IMAGE_PATH(TEXT("Result.BMP")), &OutBitmap, FILE_BMP, 24, 0, NULL); 
 
    //free bitmap 
    if(LeadBitmap.Flags.Allocated) 
        L_FreeBitmap(&LeadBitmap); 
 
    if(OutBitmap.Flags.Allocated) 
        L_FreeBitmap(&OutBitmap); 
 
    return nRet;
