LBitmap::GaussianFilter

#include "ltwrappr.h"

virtual L_INT LBitmap::GaussianFilter (nRadius)

L_INT nRadius;

/* radius of the neighborhood */

Smooths or blurs the class object's bitmap by applying a Gaussian filter to it.

Parameter

Description

nRadius

Value that indicates the radius of the neighborhood on which the filter is applied.

Returns

SUCCESS

The function was successful.

< 1

An error occurred. Refer to Return Codes.

Comments

Each pixel in the class object's bitmap is blurred based on neighborhood pixels. The parameter nRadius determines the size of the neighborhood to consider when blurring a pixel. The result is a blurred version of the original image.

The amount of blur is controlled by specifying the size of the neighborhood used for blurring or smoothing. The value of the nRadius parameter determines the size and values of the mask.

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.

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.
