MaskConvolutionCommand Class

Summary

Applies various 3D effects to an image.

Syntax

Objective-C

C++

Java

public class MaskConvolutionCommand : RasterCommand

Public Class MaskConvolutionCommand  
   Inherits RasterCommand

@interface LTMaskConvolutionCommand : LTRasterCommand

public class MaskConvolutionCommand extends RasterCommand

public ref class MaskConvolutionCommand : public RasterCommand

Remarks

For EdgeDetection, the results are the same for opposite angles. For example, angles 0 and 180 have the same result when used with the edge detection mask.
When an image undergoes image convolution each pixel of the image is multiplied by a mask to create a new pixel value. The mask is an array of values that describes the weight that should be given to each of the pixels surrounding a specific pixel. The new pixel value is the result of the mask sum being divided by the mask weight. Using different masks result in different alterations of the image. The masks used in this command result in different types of edge detection.
As an example of the different masks, consider the following example:

To obtain these images, the following settings were used:

Parameters	Emboss	Edge	ESplotch	Splotch
Angle	0	0	180	0
Depth	3	3	3	3
Height	250	250	100	100

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.
This command does not support 32-bit grayscale images.

Example

Run the MaskConvolutionCommand on an image.

using Leadtools; 
using Leadtools.Codecs; 
using Leadtools.ImageProcessing.Effects; 
 
public void MaskConvolutionCommandExample() 
{ 
   // Load an image 
   RasterCodecs codecs = new RasterCodecs(); 
   codecs.ThrowExceptionsOnInvalidImages = true; 
 
   RasterImage image = codecs.Load(Path.Combine(LEAD_VARS.ImagesDir, "ImageProcessingDemo\\NaturalFruits.jpg")); 
 
   // Prepare the command 
   MaskConvolutionCommand command = new MaskConvolutionCommand(); 
 
   // Apply 3D emboss effect on the image, with 0 degrees as the angle of apparent light, 
   // depth of 1.50, and height of 3 
   command.Angle = 0; 
   command.Depth = 150; 
   command.Height = 3; 
   command.Type = MaskConvolutionCommandType.Emboss; 
   command.Run(image); 
   codecs.Save(image, Path.Combine(LEAD_VARS.ImagesDir, "Result.jpg"), RasterImageFormat.Jpeg, 24); 
 
}
