HANDLE CALLBACK FilterMedian( HDIB hDIB,
int N,
int iShowProgress,
HWND hParent)
Description
This function will filter the image by the nonlinear median filter method. This function works for only monochrome, 8 bit per bixel and 24 bit per pixel images. A median filter operation on an image removes long tailed noise such as negative exponential and salt and pepper type noise from the image with a minimum blurring of the image. Median filter is defined as :
Median(A) = median[A(x + i, y + j)]
where the coordinate (x+i, y+j ) is defined over the image A and the coordinate (i, j) is defined over the N x N size square mask.
Examples
The original 256 x 256 pixel image corrupted by additive Gauss noise and the median filtered image using a 5 x 5 pixel square mask.
Parameters
|
HDIB |
hDIB |
Handle of the DIB to filter. |
|
int |
N |
This parameter specifies the size of the square mask. N cannot be less than 1. See the description and examples above for further information and a possible value. |
|
int |
iShowProgress |
This parameter specifies the displaying of the progressbar and the preview dialog. Available values: DISPLAY_NONE (0) - The progressbar and the preview dialog will not display before filtering. DISPLAY_PROGRESS (1) -The progressbar will display during filtering procedure. DISPLAY_DIALOG (2) - The preview dialog will display before filtering. This dialog shows the part of the image before and after filtering. DISPLAY_BOTH (3) - The progressbar and the preview dialog will display. IMPORTANT: The preview dialog will only display, if there is BiDlgs.dll installed. |
|
HWND |
hParent |
Handler of the parent window. |
Return values
The handle of the new filtered DIB or NULL if an error occurred.
