L_MrcSegmentBitmap

#include "ltsgm.h"

L_LTSGM_API L_INT L_MrcSegmentBitmap (hSegment, pBitmap, pSegOption)

Automatically segments the specified bitmap, finding the best segment combination without specifying minimum segment dimensions.

Parameters

HSEGMENTATION hSegment

An existing segmentation handle. This handle is obtained by calling the L_MrcStartBitmapSegmentation function.

pBITMAPHANDLE pBitmap

Pointer to the bitmap handle that references the bitmap to be segmented.

pSEGMENTEXTOPTIONS pSegOption

Pointer to the SEGMENTEXTOPTIONS structure that controls the automatic segmentation process. This cannot be NULL.

Returns

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

Comments

Call this function to segment the bitmap automatically. LEAD will process the bitmap and break it into appropriate picture, grayscale, text and background segments.

Call the L_MrcStartBitmapSegmentation function before using any of the segmentation functions. When the handle to the segmentation is no longer needed, free it by calling the L_MrcStopBitmapSegmentation function.

Example

The following example loads a bitmap and then performs automatic segmentation
using the L_MrcSegmentBitmap function.
