L_EdgeDetectEffectBitmap

#include "l_bitmap.h"

L_INT EXT_FUNCTION L_EdgeDetectEffectBitmap(pBitmap, uLevel, uThreshold, uFlags)

pBITMAPHANDLE pBitmap;	/* pointer to the bitmap handle */
L_UINT uLevel;	/* edge weight */
L_UINT uThreshold;	/* threshold value */
L_UINT uFlags;	/* edges type */

Performs edge detection on the image.

Parameter	Description
pBitmap	Pointer to the bitmap handle that references the bitmap on which to apply the effect.
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.
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 range is from 0 - 65535 for 64-bit, 48-bit and 16-bit grayscale images and from 0 - 4095 for 12-bit grayscale images. Otherwise, it is from 0 to 255.
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

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 images. Support for 12 and 16-bit grayscale 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 L_SetStatusCallback.

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.

Example

BITMAPHANDLE LeadBitmap; /* Bitmap handle for the image */
/* Load a bitmap at its own bits per pixel */
L_LoadBitmap (TEXT("IMAGE3.CMP"), &LeadBitmap, sizeof(BITMAPHANDLE), 0, ORDER_BGR, NULL, NULL);
/* Apply find edges effect on the image*/
L_EdgeDetectEffectBitmap(&LeadBitmap, 50, 0, EDGE_SOFT);
