L_LTIMGCOR_API L_INT L_CLAHE(pBitmap0, Alpha, TileSize, nfclipLimit, nBinNumbe, uFlags)

pBITMAPHANDLE pBitmap0;

pointer to the bitmap handle

L_FLOAT Alpha;

distribution parameter value

L_UINT TileSize;

Size of tiles

L_FLOAT nfclipLimit;

contrast enhancement limit

L_UINT nBinNumbe;

Number of bins for the histogram

L_UINT uFlags;

flags

Adjusts the image contrast using the Contrast Limited Adaptive Histogram Equalizer (CLAHE) method, Which uses several histograms each corresponding to a distinct section in the image while limiting the amplification of the noise in the image.

Parameter Description
pBitmap0 Pointer to the bitmap handle that references the bitmap to be affected.
Alpha Non-negative real scalar specifying a distribution parameter.
TileSize Positive integer specifying the size of tiles ranging from 1 to 60.
nfclipLimit Real scalar in the range [0, 1] that specifies a contrast enhancement limit. Higher numbers result in more contrast.
nBinNumbe Multiple of 2 integer in the range [2, 1024] that specifies the number of bins for the histogram used in building a contrast enhancing transformation.
uFlags Flags specifying the desired histogram shape for the image tiles. Possible values are:
CLAHE_RAYLIEH
CLAHE_EXPONENTIAL
CLAHE_NORMAL
CLAHE_SIGMOID
CLAHE_RETURN8BITIMAGE
CLAHE_RETURN16BITIMAGE

Returns

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

Comments
