F_VN_HaralickFeatures

F_VN_HaralickFeatures 1:

Computes the Haralick features of a graylevel image, which describe the texture.

Syntax

Definition:

FUNCTION F_VN_HaralickFeatures : HRESULT

    ipImage    : ITcVnImage;
    ipFeatures : Reference To ITcVnContainer;
    nDist      : UDINT;
    hrPrev     : HRESULT;

F_VN_HaralickFeatures 2: Inputs

Name

Type

Description

ipImage

ITcVnImage

Source image (1 channel, USINT)

ipFeatures

Reference To ITcVnContainer

Returns the computed Haralick features (CTcVnContainer_Vector_LREAL). The returned feature set contains the mean and standard deviation for each of the first 13 Haralick features, computed for 0, 45, 90, 135 degrees. So there will be 26 features in total (f1 mean, f1 stdDev, f2 mean, f2 stdDev, ..., f13 mean, f13 stdDev).

nDist

UDINT

Distance

hrPrev

HRESULT

HRESULT indicating the result of previous operations (If SUCCEEDED(hrPrev) equals false, no operation is executed.)

F_VN_HaralickFeatures 3: Return value

HRESULT

Further information

The function F_VN_HaralickFeatures calculates the Haralick properties of an image. These values provide an indication of the structure of the image.

Parameter

Image

The input image ipImage.

Features

The Haralick features are returned as a container via the reference ipFeatures.

Distance

The distance between neighboring pixels in the Gray-Level Co-occurrence Matrix (GLCM) is specified as nDist.

Application

For example, the calculation of Haralick features with a distance of 5 looks like this:

hr := F_VN_HaralickFeatures(
    ipImage     :=  ipImage,
    ipFeatures  :=  ipFeatures,
    nDist       :=  5,
    hrPrev      :=  hr);
