Name

Type

Description

ipSrcImage

ITcVnImage

Source image

ipDestImage

Reference To ITcVnImage

Destination image (An appropriate destination image will be created if required.)

eDestDepth

ETcVnElementType

Destination image depth

eFilterDirection

ETcVnFilterDirection

Filter direction

fScale

F_VN_ScharrFilterExp 3: Return value

HRESULT

Further information

The function F_VN_ScharrFilterExp is the expert version of F_VN_ScharrFilter. It contains additional parameters.

Parameter

Original image

The original image ipSrcImage can have any format.

Result image

The result image ipDestImage returns the filter result and has the same format as the original image ipSrcImage.

Result depth

The result depth eDestDepth defines which element type the result image ipDestImage has. A larger element type can display more information.

Filter direction

The filter direction eFilterDirection defines whether the Scharr filter is applied to the image in the X-direction (TCVN_FD_X) or in the Y-direction (TCVN_FD_Y).

Scaling

The result of the Scharr operation is multiplied by the scaling factor fScale.

Delta

The constant delta fDelta is added to the result of the Scharr operation after scaling with fScale.

Border extrapolation

The method of border extrapolation eBorderType defines how non-existent pixels are extrapolated beyond the image border in order to calculate the filter values at the image borders. For further details, see ETcVnBorderInterpolationMethod.

Application

hr := F_VN_ScharrFilterExp(
    ipSrcImage      :=  ipImageIn,
    ipDestImage     :=  ipImageRes,
    eDestDepth      :=  TCVN_ET_USINT,
    eFilterDirection:=  TCVN_FD_X,
    fScale          :=  1,
    fDelta          :=  0,
    eBorderType     :=  TCVN_BIM_DEFAULT,

    hrPrev          :=  hr,
);
