Method
VipsImagerank
Declaration [src]
int
vips_rank (
VipsImage* in,
VipsImage** out,
int width,
int height,
int index,
...
)
Description [src]
vips_rank() does rank filtering on an image. A window of size width by
height is passed over the image. At each position, the pixels inside the
window are sorted into ascending order and the pixel at position index is
output. index numbers from 0.
It works for any non-complex image type, with any number of bands. The input is expanded by copying edge pixels before performing the operation so that the output image has the same size as the input. Edge pixels in the output image are therefore only approximate.
For a median filter with mask size m (3 for 3x3, 5 for 5x5, etc.) use
vips_rank(in, out, m, m, m * m / 2);
The special cases n == 0 and n == m * m - 1 are useful dilate and expand operators.
