gen_image_interleaved (Operator)
gen_image_interleaved — Create a three-channel image from a pointer to the interleaved pixels.
Signature
gen_image_interleaved( : ImageRGB : PixelPointer, ColorFormat, OriginalWidth, OriginalHeight, Alignment, Type, ImageWidth, ImageHeight, StartRow, StartColumn, BitsPerChannel, BitShift : )
Description
The operator gen_image_interleaved creates a three-channel image
from an input image, whose pixels are stored line-sequentially in
PixelPointer. The size of the input image has to be passed in
OriginalWidth and OriginalHeight, the format of the
interleaved pixels in ColorFormat.
The output image will be sized
ImageWidth * ImageHeight. Together with the
coordinates of upper left corner StartRow and
StartColumn any section of the input image can be extracted.
When a 0 is passed to ImageWidth, ImageHeight,
StartRow, and StartColumn, the output image will have the
same dimensions as the input image.
Note that the image type Type (see gen_image_const)
of the output image ImageRGB
has to be chosen such that the whole range of possible color values of the
input image can be represented. I.e. gen_image_interleaved does not
allow to create a byte image from an input image with ColorFormat
'rgb48'.
When the formats 'rgb48', 'bgr48', 'rgbx64', and
'bgr64' do not use the full range of 16 bits per channel and pixel,
the number of actually used bits should be passed in BitsPerChannel.
Furthermore, the pixel values of the input image can be shifted by
BitShift bits to the right.
The fourth channel of four-channel input images in the formats 'rgbx', 'bgrx', 'rgbx64', and 'bgrx64' is simply discarded.
The storage for the new image is newly created by HALCON. Thus, it can be released after the call. Note that how to pass a pointer value depends on the used operator signature and programming environment. Make sure to pass the actual memory address where the image data is stored, not the address of a pointer variable. Care must be taken not to truncate 64-bit pointers on 64-bit architectures.
Possible values for ColorFormat:
- 'rgb555':
-
16 bit rgb triple (5 bit per pixel and channel), the padding bit (X) being the first bit. The bit pattern is XRRRRRGG|GGGBBBBB.
- 'bgr555':
-
16 bit bgr triple (5 bit per pixel and channel), the padding bit (X) being the first bit. The bit pattern is XBBBBBGG|GGGRRRRR.
- 'rgb5551':
-
16 bit rgb triple (5 bit per pixel and channel), the padding bit (X) being the last bit. The bit pattern is RRRRRGGG|GGBBBBBX.
- 'bgr5551':
-
16 bit bgr triple (5 bit per pixel and channel), the padding bit (X) being the last bit. The bit pattern is BBBBBGGG|GGRRRRRX.
- 'rgb565':
-
16 bit rgb triple (5 bit per pixel and channel, 6 bit for the green channel). The bit pattern is RRRRRGGG|GGGBBBBB.
- 'bgr565':
-
16 bit bgr triple (5 bit per pixel and channel, 6 bit for the green channel). The bit pattern is BBBBBGGG|GGGRRRRR.
- 'rgb':
-
24 bit rgb triple (8 bit per pixel and channel)
- 'bgr':
-
24 bit bgr triple (8 bit per pixel and channel)
- 'rgbx':
-
32 bit rgb quadruple (8 bit per pixel and channel)
- 'bgrx':
-
32 bit bgr quadruple (8 bit per pixel and channel)
- 'rgb48':
-
48 bit rgb triple (16 bit per pixel and channel)
- 'bgr48':
-
48 bit bgr triple (16 bit per pixel and channel)
- 'rgbx64':
-
64 bit rgb quadruple (16 bit per pixel and channel)
- 'bgrx64':
-
64 bit bgr quadruple (16 bit per pixel and channel)
The values 'rgb555', 'bgr555', 'rgb565',
'bgr565', 'rgb5551' and 'bgr5551' can be used with the
suffix 'le' (Little Endian: Lower byte is expected first) or - which is
the default if the suffix is omitted - 'be' (Big Endian: Higher byte is
expected first). For example,
the bit pattern for
ColorFormat = 'rgb555' is XRRRRRGG|GGGBBBBB, while the bit
pattern for ColorFormat = 'rgb555le' is GGGBBBBB|XRRRRRGG.
Attention
gen_image_interleaved does not check whether the
PixelPointer is valid or not.
Thus, it must be ensured by the user that it is valid.
Otherwise, the program may crash!
Execution Information
