virtual L_INT LBitmap::Correlation (pCorBitmap, pPoints, uMaxPoints, puNumOfPoints, uXStep, uYStep, uThreshold, uFlags = 0)
virtual L_INT LBitmap::Correlation (plCorBitmap, pPoints, uMaxPoints, puNumOfPoints, uXStep, uYStep, uThreshold, uFlags = 0)
This function compares pCorBitmap (or part of pCorBitmap) with all the areas of the same dimensions in pBitmap and finds those portions that match according to the measure of correlation.
Pointer to the bitmap handle that references the bitmap for which to search.
Pointer to the bitmap object that references the bitmap for which to search.
Pointer to an array of points. This array will be filled with the starting points for the correlated areas.
Size of the point array. This is also equal to the maximum number of regions in pBitmap that can be found to be correlated.
Pointer to a variable to be updated with the number of areas in pBitmap actually found to be correlated to pCorBitmap. Its maximum value is uMaxPoints.
Step size in the X direction (along image width), in pixels. For best results, use 1.
Step size in the Y direction (along image height) ), in pixels. For best results, use 1.
Value that indicates the correlation threshold, which is a measure of association required to consider two areas to be correlated. If the correlation value between pCorBitmap and an area in pBitmap is less than the correlation threshold they are uncorrelated. Valid values range from 0 (zero resemblance) to 100 (perfect resemblance).
Reserved for future use. Must be 0.

This function compares pCorBitmap (or a part of pCorBitmap) with all the areas of the same dimensions in Bitmap object and finds those areas that match according to the measure of correlation. Correlation is a measure of association (resemblance) between two images. It varies from 0 (zero resemblance) to 100 (perfect resemblance). This function updates the pPoints parameter with the point of origin for those areas of Bitmap object where the resemblance with pCorBitmap (or part of pCorBitmap) is greater than the value of uThreshold. The pCorBitmap dimensions must be less than or equal to the Bitmap object dimensions.
For example:
Select a bitmap of the object for which you want to look. Put it in pCorBitmap
For example:
Select a bitmap that contains the object for which you are searching and put it in Bitmap object.
For example:
Call LBitmap::Correlation from your bitmap object.
The function will update the pPoints array parameter with the point of origin (top-left) for each area of the bitmap pBitmap where the correlation with pCorBitmap is greater than the correlation threshold. The height and width of the rectangles are the same as for pCorBitmap.
The result is:
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 only in the Document/Medical toolkits.
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.
The sign flag in the BITMAPHANDLE structure must be the same for all images listed. That is, all images must be either signed or unsigned.
Win32, x64.
