Median Method

Summary

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

Syntax

C++

[OperationContractAttribute(Action="Median", 
   AsyncPattern=false, 
   IsOneWay=false, 
   IsInitiating=true, 
   IsTerminating=false)] 
[FaultContractAttribute(System.Type)] 
public CommandResponse Median( 
   MedianRequest request 
)

  
<FaultContractAttribute(DetailType=Leadtools.Services.Raster.FaultContracts.RasterFault,  
   Action="",  
   Name="",  
   Namespace="",  
   ProtectionLevel=ProtectionLevel.None,  
   HasProtectionLevel=False)> 
<OperationContractAttribute("Median")> 
Function Median( _ 
   ByVal request As Leadtools.Services.Imageprocessing.Datacontracts.MedianRequest _ 
) As Leadtools.Services.Imageprocessing.Datacontracts.CommandResponse

[FaultContractAttribute(DetailType=Leadtools.Services.Raster.FaultContracts.RasterFault,  
   Action="",  
   Name="",  
   Namespace="",  
   ProtectionLevel=ProtectionLevel.None,  
   HasProtectionLevel=false)] 
[OperationContractAttribute("Median")] 
Leadtools.Services.Imageprocessing.Datacontracts.CommandResponse^ Median(  
   Leadtools.Services.Imageprocessing.Datacontracts.MedianRequest^ request 
)

Parameters

request
A System.Runtime.Serialization.DataContractAttribute containing the data that will be used in this Median operation.

Return Value

A System.Runtime.Serialization.DataContractAttribute containing the modified image resulting from the Median operation.

Remarks

You control the effect by specifying the size of the neighborhood that is used for calculating the median value. For example, for 8x8, set Leadtools.Services.ImageProcessing.DataContracts.MedianRequest.Dimension property(or the dimension parameter of the Constructor)to 8.
This operation 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 operation does not support 32-bit grayscale images.
