Example

This example loads a bitmap and removes the salt and pepper noise from it (check the before and after images, and focus on the area in the middle).

#if defined (LEADTOOLS_V19_OR_LATER) 
L_INT LBitmap__RemoveSaltPepperNoiseExample(L_VOID) 
{ 
	L_INT nRet; 
	LBitmap LeadBitmap; 
 
	nRet = LeadBitmap.Load(MAKE_IMAGE_PATH(TEXT("cannon_noisy.png")), 0, ORDER_BGR); 
	if (nRet != SUCCESS) 
		return nRet; 
 
	/* Apply filter */ 
	nRet = LeadBitmap.RemoveSaltPepperNoise(); 
	if (nRet == SUCCESS) 
		nRet = LeadBitmap.Save(MAKE_IMAGE_PATH(TEXT("Result.BMP")), FILE_BMP, 24, 0, NULL); 
 
	return nRet; 
}
