StretchIntensityCommand Class

Summary

Increases the contrast in an image by centering, maximizing, and proportioning the range of intensity values.

Syntax

Objective-C

C++/CLI

Java

Python

public class StretchIntensityCommand : RasterCommand

@interface LTStretchIntensityCommand : LTRasterCommand

public class StretchIntensityCommand 
    extends RasterCommand

public ref class StretchIntensityCommand : public RasterCommand

class StretchIntensityCommand(RasterCommand):

Remarks

Unlike the ChangeContrastCommand command, this command always retains the original number of different intensity values. (Ordinary contrast adjustments can lose values at the high and low ends of the scale.)
This command 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 command does not support 32-bit grayscale images.

If the image has a LUT and you want to work on the image data, set RasterImage.UseLookupTable to false. Then, after calling the method, reset the UselookupTable property to true, as follows:

rasterImage.UseLookupTable = false; 
Method(rasterImage); 
rasterImage.UseLookupTable = true;

For more information, refer to Changing Brightness and Contrast.

Example

Run the StretchIntensityCommand on an image and maximize its range of intensity values.

using Leadtools; 
using Leadtools.Codecs; 
using Leadtools.ImageProcessing.Color; 
 
 
public void StretchIntensityCommandExample() 
{ 
   // Load an image 
   RasterCodecs codecs = new RasterCodecs(); 
   codecs.ThrowExceptionsOnInvalidImages = true; 
 
   RasterImage image = codecs.Load(Path.Combine(LEAD_VARS.ImagesDir, "IMAGE1.CMP")); 
 
   // Prepare the command 
   StretchIntensityCommand command = new StretchIntensityCommand(); 
   //Stretch the intensity. 
   command.Run(image); 
   codecs.Save(image, Path.Combine(LEAD_VARS.ImagesDir, "Result.jpg"), RasterImageFormat.Jpeg, 24); 
} 
 
static class LEAD_VARS 
{ 
   public const string ImagesDir = @"C:\LEADTOOLS22\Resources\Images";
