Detailed Description

Convolution filter for bitmap image effects. A.k.a. kernel filter or matrix. A.k.a. correlation, impulse response, or point spread function.

---

Member Typedef Documentation

typedef std::vector<float> VizKit::VisualConvolutionFilter::KernelValues [private]

Kernel values of convolution filters are stored in vectors of floats.

---

Member Enumeration Documentation

enum VizKit::VisualConvolutionFilter::EdgeAction

How to calculate edge values.

Enumerator:

kZeroEdges
kClampEdges	< Edge values are blank.
kWrapEdges	< Edge values are clamped. < Edge values are wrapped around.

enum VizKit::VisualConvolutionFilter::Effect

Constants for various convolution filters.

Enumerator:

kNone
kBlur
kMotionBlur	< Blur filter (lowpass filter). Eliminates changes that are only a pixel wide. Rapid change from pixel to pixel is blocked while slow change is passed.
kGaussianBlur	< Motion blur filter.
kLaplacian	< Gaussian blur filter.
kEdgeDetect	< Laplacian filter.
kSharpen	< Filter for edge detection.
kEmboss	< Sharpens image (highpass filter). Rapid change from pixel to pixel is passed while slow change is blocked. < Emboss filter that gives the image a relief look (useful when bumpmapping).

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

VisualConvolutionFilter::VisualConvolutionFilter	(	const Effect	effect,
		const uint8	colCount = 3,
		const uint8	rowCount = 3
	)

The constructor.

Parameters:

effect	The name of the convolution filter.
colCount	The number of columns of the kernel matrix. Default = 3.
rowCount	The number of rows of the kernel matrix. Default = 3.

Remarks:

The size of the filter has to be uneven, so that it has a center (e.g. 3x3, 5x5, or 7x7).

VisualConvolutionFilter::~VisualConvolutionFilter

(

)

The destructor.

VisualConvolutionFilter::VisualConvolutionFilter

(

const VisualConvolutionFilter &

other

)

Copy constructor.

Parameters:

other

Reference to another VisualConvolutionFilter.

Member Function Documentation

void VisualConvolutionFilter::applyToPixelData	(	const PixelColor *	pixelData,
		uint32	imageWidth,
		uint32	imageHeight,
		int	pixelFormat,
		int	pixelDataType,
		PixelColor **	outPixelData,
		uint16	numberOfInterations = 1
	)		const

Applies the convolution filter to the pixel data.

Parameters:

pixelData	The pixel data on which the convolution filter is about to be applied.
imageWidth	The width of the image.
imageHeight	The height of the image.
pixelFormat	The format of the pixel data (rgba, luminance, etc.).
pixelDataType	The data type of the pixel data (8-bit byte, float, etc.).
outPixelData	The result of the convolution operation.
numberOfInterations	Optional number of iterations (default = 1).

uint32 VisualConvolutionFilter::clamp

(

uint32

inVal

)

const [private]

Clamps the incoming value between 0 and 255.

void VisualConvolutionFilter::copy

(

const VisualConvolutionFilter &

other

)

[private]

Copy method for assignment operator and copy constructor.

Parameters:

other

Another VisualConvolutionFilter.

void VisualConvolutionFilter::copyKernelValues

(

float *

buffer

)

const

Copies the kernel values of the convolution filter into the provided buffer.

Parameters:

[out]

buffer

The buffer into which the kernel values are written.

Remarks:

The caller has to make sure that the provided buffer is big enough to store columns * rows * sizeof(float) values.

uint8 VisualConvolutionFilter::getNumberOfKernelValueColumns

(

void

)

const

Returns the number of kernel value columns.

Returns:

The number of kernel value columns.

uint8 VisualConvolutionFilter::getNumberOfKernelValueRows

(

void

)

const

Returns the number of kernel value rows.

Returns:

The number of kernel value rows.

float VisualConvolutionFilter::getPostConvolutionBias

(

void

)

const

Returns the post convolution bias.

Returns:

The post convolution bias.

Remarks:

The bias is a coefficient that is added to each pixel value.

float VisualConvolutionFilter::getPostConvolutionScaleFactor

(

void

)

const

Returns the post convolution scale factor.

Returns:

The post convolution scale factor.

Remarks:

The scale factor is the factor with which each pixel is multiplied.

VisualConvolutionFilter & VisualConvolutionFilter::operator=

(

const VisualConvolutionFilter &

other

)

Assignment operator.

Parameters:

other

Reference to another VisualConvolutionFilter.
