CImage:FiltBinomial


The FiltBinomial method smooths an image by applying a filter kernel having binomial coefficient weights.

Syntax

bResult = CImage:FiltBinomial( cols, rows, CRect=nil )

Remarks

This method smooths the image using an elliptical filter kernel having binomial coefficient weights such as 1,2,1 or 1,4,6,4,1. For large size, of order 10 pixels or more this approximates a Gaussian.

Setting cols = rows makes the filter asymmetric in the column and row directions but the filter cannot be rotated to an intermediate angle. For a rotated filter kernel, use FiltGaussian or FiltEllipse

Example

Suppose an image is displayed in a CImageView named V. The following script fragment smooths the region [100:300, 400:800] using a 5x5 binomial filter:

 

I = V:GetImage()

-- attach the current displayed image

R = CRect:new( 100,300, 400,800 )

-- setup the rectangle to process

I:FiltBinomial( 5, 5, R )

-- apply the filter

V:Update()

-- update the display after the scale

R:delete()

-- done with the CRect
