CImage:FiltRank


The FiltRank method applies a rank filter to the image. This filter selects the neighborhood value having a particular percentile rank. The filter can be tuned for removing noise or for other morphological effects.

Syntax

bResult = CImage:FiltRank( cols, rows, percentile, CRect=nil )

Remarks

This method applies a rectangular rank filter to the image. The ranking operation is a nonlinear process because the resulting value cannot be determined by applying linear operations (addition and multiplication) to other pixel values.

Example

Suppose an image is displayed in a CImageView named V. The following script fragment removes point defects from the [100:300, 400:800] pixel region using a 3x3 rank filter at 45 percentile rank:

I = V:GetImage()

-- attach the current displayed image

R = CRect:new(100,300,400,800)

-- setup the rectangle to process

I:FiltRank(3,3,45,R)

-- apply the filter

V:Update()

-- update the display after the scale

R:delete()

-- done with the CRect
