LBitmap::Smooth

Summary

Smooths the bumps and fills in the nicks of a 1-bit black and white image.

Syntax

#include "ltwrappr.h"

virtual L_INT LBitmap::Smooth(pSmooth, uFlags = 0)

Parameters

pSMOOTH pSmooth

Pointer to the SMOOTH structure that LEADTOOLS uses to perform the smoothing operation.

L_UINT32 uFlags

Reserved for future use. Must be 0.

Returns

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

Comments

This function smooths the text in scanned text documents.

The behavior of this function can be modified by overriding LBitmap::SmoothCallback.

This function works only on 1-bit black and white images.

If a region is selected, only the selected region will be changed by this function. If no region is selected, the whole image will be processed.

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.

Example

This example smooths all nicks and bumps up to 2 pixels in length
Long bumps/nicks are treated before short bumps/nicks
A LEAD region is updated to show all the changes.
