LBitmap::EdgeDetectEffect

Summary

Performs edge detection on the image.

Syntax

#include "ltwrappr.h"

virtual L_INT LBitmap::EdgeDetectEffect(uLevel, uThreshold, uFlags)

Parameters

L_UINT uLevel

Level value used to determine the brightness of the edges. Standard value is 50. Range between 1 and 100. Big values will produce bright edges.

L_UINT uThreshold

Threshold value used to determine which pixels are going to be filtered. If the difference determined for a pixel is less than this value, the pixel is set to 0. If the difference is greater, the filter will be applied to the pixel. The valid ranges are:

0 to 65535 for 64-bit, 48-bit and 16-bit grayscale images.
0 to 4095 for 12-bit grayscale images.
0 to 255 otherwise.

L_UINT uFlags

Flag that indicates the type of edge to generate. Possible values are:

Value	Meaning
EDGE_SOFT	[0] Generate softer (smoother) edges.
EDGE_SOLID	[1] Generate rougher edges.

Returns

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

Comments

This function detects the edges in a bitmap and then replaces the values of edges by new values calculated according to the uFlags.

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.

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

This function does not support signed data images. It returns the error code ERROR_SIGNED_DATA_NOT_SUPPORTED if a signed data image is passed to this function.

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.
