The change is graduated starting from LoLimit, with a maximum change applied to the midpoint between LoLimit and HiLimit, then reduced again to HiLimit.

Typically this method can be used to effectively progressively brighten or darken any range of colors as requested without affecting colors outside the range.

RGB values in the range of 0 to 127 are considered as darker, and 128 to 255 as lighter.

The new bitmap will inherit the Layers[].Transparency and alpha channels.

The resulting image will always be 24 bit (RGB24).

Notes:

- LayersMergeFilter will specify the quality of image layers, if they do not have a custom UseResampleFilter

Returns the coverage area of all or selected layers.

The result will include any layers outside the background layer (if LayersCropped and Cropped are not set).

Notes:

The maximum filter is typically applied to an image to remove negative outlier noise.

Carry out fast median filtering on images using windows from 3x3 to 19x19 maximum size. MedianFilter works only with true color images.

Filtering can be of three types:

1) substitute median if central point differs from median by a threshold amount

2) high pass sharpening

3) edge extraction

Operation:

Histogram in moving window at beginning of line is initiated. Histogram is updated after each move subtracting left column values from previous window, adding right column values. Median updated by counting up or down number of pixels less than or greater than old median. For color images, the grayscale intensity of a pixel is computed as a weighted linear combination of RGB and counted in the histogram. The pixel with the nearest (L1 norm) color to the average of all pixels in the moving window except the central point is used in place of the median.

The computation of the median for a color image has a complexity of O(N^4), Whereas this technique is only O(N^2) or less and is as good when the window size is 19x19 when the median differs only by a small amount from the mean. For smaller windows performance degrades as the mean differs from the median, but it is still satisfactory down to a 5x5 window.

Adaptive thresholding is used to preserve sharp edges. A pixel is replaced by the median or its nearast average color equivalent if it lies outside the 1st and 3rd quantile of the intensity distribution. The user may modify the position of the quantiles interactively. Defaults are the first and third quartiles. For grayscale images, the quantiles and medians are used directly. The green element of a RGB record is used as an intensity measurement. The user must provide means of detecting whether or not an image is color or grayscale.

Merges pixels and alpha channel of image with the background.

Supports only 24 bit RGB pixel format.

The method Minimum sets each pixel in the output image as the minimum value of all the current image pixel values in the neighborhood of size WindowSize.

The minimum filter is typically applied to an image to remove positive outlier noise.

Applies contrast to the image by lightening or darkening pixels depending on whether they are above or below a threshold.

The midPoint value determines that threshold, the point at which the Change value influences the pixel value lighter or darker.

When change values are positive, Increasing the Midpoint value darkens the contrast.

When change values are negative, Increasing the Midpoint value lightens the contrast.

Transfers current image, all layers and input/output parameters to destination IEImage object.

SetTransparentColors sets as transparent all pixels inside the MinColor and MaxColor range.

The trasparency value comes from Alpha parameter (0=fully transparent, 255=fully visible).

If you are sure of the RGB value of the transparent colors, just set MinColor and MaxColor to the same value.

If you want all colors from gray (128,128,128) to white (255,255,255) to be transparent, write SetTransparentColors(IERGB(128,128,128),IERGB(255,255,255),0).

Sets all pixels near specified color as transparent

SkewDetection estimates the orientation angle (in degrees) of the lines of text.

Apply this method only to images that contains printed text.

SkewDetection can be very slow on large images, so applications can resample analyzed image using ResampleWidth parameter to enhance performance.

No resample is performed when ResampleWidth is zero.

The angle range is 30 for default (from -15 to 15 degrees) and the precision will be 0.1.

SkewDetectionFine estimates the orientation angle (in degrees) of the lines of text.

Apply this method only to images that contains printed text.

SkewDetectionFine doesn’t use a Hough transform (like SkewDetection), but progressive rotations to find the best orientation.

Stretches pixels value in the range of IEImage.BlackValue and IEImage.WhiteValue.

This method resets BlackValue and WhiteValue to zero.

Works only when PixelFormat is 8 bit gray scale, 16 bit gray scale, 24 bit RGB and 32 bit float point.

Applies a "Symmetric Nearest Neighbour" smoothing filter to the image.

SNN smoothing is very effective at noise reduction, while preserving edges.

When 32RGB (RGBA) pixel format is used, the A channel is not used. Alpha channel is stored in a separated plane (AlphaChannel).

To copy from A channel to Alpha channel you have to call SynchronizeRGBA with RGBAToAlpha=true.

Viceversa to copy from Alpha channel to A channel call SynchronizeRGBA with RGBAToAlpha=false.

TWainAcquireClose closes a connection opened with AcquireOpen. It is useful to do a modeless acquisition.

Whenever IEvolution gets an image the AcquireBitmap event occurs.

TWainAcquireOpen opens a connection to the selected scanner. It is useful to do a modeless acquisition.

Whenever IEvolution gets an image, the AcquireBitmap event occurs.

This is like Undo but restores only the specified rectangle.

This is useful when you are performing interactive user drawing.
