L_HighPassFilterBitmap

Summary

Removes low frequency details in a bitmap, resulting in a sharpened image.

Syntax

#include "l_bitmap.h"

L_LTIMGEFX_API L_INT L_HighPassFilterBitmap(pBitmap, uRadius, uOpacity, uFlags)

Parameters

pBITMAPHANDLE pBitmap

Pointer to the bitmap handle that references the bitmap to which to apply the filter.

L_UINT uRadius

Value greater than 0 that indicates the radius of the neighborhood on which the filter is applied, in pixels.

L_UINT uOpacity

Value that represents the intensity of the effect. The valid range is from 0 to 100. At 100, only the object outlines remain.

Returns

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

Comments

This filter removes low-frequency detail in the bitmap. The effect is opposite to that of the Gaussian Blur filter (L_GaussianFilterBitmap).

To increase the thickness of the edges, increase the value of uRadius. Usually a low value for uRadius is better.

Unlike the L_UnsharpMaskBitmap function, when using this function image noise is not increased.

If the bitmap has a region, the effect will be applied on the region only.

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.

To update a status bar or detect a user interrupt during execution of this function, refer to L_SetStatusCallback.

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.
