MinMaxValuesCommand Class

Summary

Gets the minimum and maximum intensity values present in a 12 or 16-bit grayscale or a 48 or 64-bit color image. This class is available in the Medical Toolkits.

Syntax

Objective-C

C++

Java

public class MinMaxValuesCommand : RasterCommand

Public Class MinMaxValuesCommand  
   Inherits RasterCommand

@interface LTMinMaxValuesCommand : LTRasterCommand

public class MinMaxValuesCommand extends RasterCommand

public ref class MinMaxValuesCommand : public RasterCommand

Remarks

The minimum and maximum values can be used to create a lookup table, for use in the WindowLevelCommand class.
For signed images, the minimum intensity and the maximum intensity values can be negative.
This class supports 12 and 16-bit grayscale images. Support for 12 and 16-bit grayscale images is available only in the Document/Medical toolkits.
This command does not support 32-bit grayscale images.
LEADTOOLS supports two types of LUTs for 10-16-bit grayscale images (8-bit LUT and 16-bit LUT). Typical grayscale image display and processing is done using an 8-bit LUT. But, you can also use a 16-bit LUT, which offers more precision. Some special video cards and monitors also support display of grayscale images using a 16-bit LUT.

Example

Run the MinMaxValuesCommand on an image and gets the minimum and maximum pixel values for an image.

using Leadtools; 
using Leadtools.Codecs; 
using Leadtools.ImageProcessing.Core; 
 
public void MinMaxValuesCommandExample() 
{ 
   // Load an image 
   RasterCodecs codecs = new RasterCodecs(); 
   codecs.ThrowExceptionsOnInvalidImages = true; 
 
   RasterImage image = codecs.Load(Path.Combine(LEAD_VARS.ImagesDir, @"ImageProcessingDemo\Beauty16.jpg")); 
 
   // Prepare the command 
   MinMaxValuesCommand command = new MinMaxValuesCommand(); 
   int MinimumValue = 0; //the minimum value. 
   int MaximumValue = 0; //the maximum value. 
   //Get min/max values. 
   command.Run(image); 
   MinimumValue = command.MinimumValue; 
   MaximumValue = command.MaximumValue; 
   MessageBox.Show("The Minimum Value is : " + MinimumValue.ToString() + ", The Maximum Value is : " + MaximumValue.ToString()); 
 
}

   public const string ImagesDir = @"C:\Users\Public\Documents\LEADTOOLS Images";
