MedianCommand Class

Leadtools.ImageProcessing.Core Namespace : MedianCommand Class




Changes the color of each pixel in an image to the median color of pixels in its neighborhood. This is similar to the AverageCommand command, but it is used for noise reduction, rather than a blur effect.

Syntax

Visual Basic (Declaration) 
Public Class MedianCommand 
   Inherits RasterCommand
   Implements IRasterCommand 
Visual Basic (Usage)Copy Code
Dim instance As MedianCommand
C# 
public class MedianCommand : RasterCommand, IRasterCommand 
Managed Extensions for C++ 
public __gc class MedianCommand : public RasterCommand, IRasterCommand 
C++/CLI 
public ref class MedianCommand : public RasterCommand, IRasterCommand 

Example

Visual BasicCopy Code
ImageProcessing.Core.MedianCommand
   Public Sub MedianCommandExample()
      RasterCodecs.Startup()
      Dim codecs As New RasterCodecs()
      codecs.ThrowExceptionsOnInvalidImages = True

      Dim leadImage As RasterImage = codecs.Load("C:\Program Files\LEAD Technologies\LEADTOOLS 15\Images\Master.jpg")

      ' Prepare the command
      Dim command As MedianCommand = New MedianCommand
      'Apply a median filter with a neighborhood of 9x9 pixels.
      command.Dimension = 9

      command.Run(leadImage)

      RasterCodecs.Shutdown()
   End Sub
C#Copy Code
ImageProcessing.Core.MedianCommand 
      public void MedianCommandExample() 
      { 
         // Load an image 
         RasterCodecs.Startup(); 
         RasterCodecs codecs = new RasterCodecs(); 
         codecs.ThrowExceptionsOnInvalidImages = true; 
 
         RasterImage image = codecs.Load(@"C:\Program Files\LEAD Technologies\LEADTOOLS 15\Images\Master.jpg"); 
 
         // Prepare the command 
         MedianCommand command  = new MedianCommand(); 
         //Apply a median filter with a neighborhood of 9x9 pixels. 
         command.Dimension      = 9; 
         command.Run(image); 
 
         RasterCodecs.Shutdown(); 
      }

Remarks

  • You control the effect by specifying the size of the neighborhood that is used for calculating the median value. For 8x8, 8 in the Dimension property or pass the value 8 for the dimension parameter of the Constructor.
  • This command 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.
  • If the image has a region, this command works only on the region. If the image does not have a region, this command works on the entire image.
  • This command does not support 32-bit grayscale images.
