Method

VipsImagemin

Declaration [src]

int
vips_min (
  VipsImage* in,
  double* out,
  ...
)

Description [src]

This operation finds the minimum value in an image.

By default it finds the single smallest value. If size is set >1, it will find the size smallest values. It will stop searching early if has found enough values. Equal values will be sorted by y then x.

It operates on all bands of the input image: use vips_stats() if you need to find an minimum for each band.

For complex images, this operation finds the minimum modulus.

You can read out the position of the minimum with x and y. You can read out arrays of the values and positions of the top size minima with out_array, x_array and y_array. These values are returned sorted from smallest to largest.

If there are more than size minima, the minima returned will be a random selection of the minima in the image.

Optional arguments

x: gint, output, horizontal position of minimum
y: gint, output, vertical position of minimum
size: gint, number of minima to find
out_array: VipsArrayDouble, output, array of minimum values
x_array: VipsArrayInt, output, corresponding horizontal positions
y_array: VipsArrayInt, output, corresponding vertical positions

Parameters

out

Type: double*

Output pixel minimum.

The argument will be set by the function.

Return value

Type: int

0 on success, -1 on error.
