Parameters
pSrc
Pointer to the source image ROI.
srcStep
Distance in bytes between starts of consecutive lines in the source image.
pDst
Pointer to the destination image ROI.
dstStep
Distance in bytes between starts of consecutive lines in the destination image.
pSrcDst
Pointer to the source and destination image ROI (for the in-place operation).
srcDstStep
Distance in bytes between starts of consecutive lines in the source and destination image buffer (for the in-place operation).
roiSize
Size of the source and destination ROI in pixels.
threshold
The threshold level value to use for each pixel. In case of multi-channel data, an array of threshold values for each color channel is used.
ippCmpOp
The operation specified for comparing pixel values and the
threshold
. Comparison for either “less than” or “greater than” can be used.
Description
This function operates with ROI (see Regions of Interest in Intel IPP).
This function thresholds pixels in the source image
pSrc
 using the specified level
threshold
. Pixel values in the source image are compared to the
threshold
 value according to the type of comparison operation specified in the
ippCmpOp
. The following values for
ippCmpOp
 are possible:
  • ippCmpLess
     specifies the “less than” comparison and defines the
    threshold
     value as a lower bound. Comparison is performed by the following formula:
  • ippCmpGreater
     specifies the “greater than” comparison and defines the
    threshold
     value as an upper bound. Comparison is performed by the following formula:
If the result of comparison is true, the corresponding output pixel is set to the
threshold
 value. Otherwise, it is set to the source pixel value.
Return Values
ippStsNoErr
Indicates no error. Any other value indicates an error or a warning.
ippStsNullPtrErr
Indicates an error condition if one of the specified pointer is
NULL
.
ippStsSizeErr
Indicates an error condition if
roiSize
 has a field with zero or negative value.
ippStsStepErr
Indicates an error condition if
srcStep
,
dstStep
, or
srcDstStep
 has a zero or negative value
ippStsNotSupportedModeErr
Indicates an error if the comparison mode is not supported.

Example

The code example below shows how to use the
ippiThreshold_8u_C1R
 function.
void func_threshold()
{
    IppiSize ROI = {5,4};
    Ipp8u src[9*4] = {1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 8, 4, 2, 1,
                      1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 8, 4, 2, 1,                     
                      1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 8, 4, 2, 1,                     
                      1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 8, 4, 2, 1};
    Ipp8u dst[9*4];
    Ipp8u threshold = 6;
    ippiThreshold_8u_C1R(src, 9, dst, 9, ROI, threshold, ippCmpGreater);

}
Result:
      dst
1  2  4  6  6  8  4  2  1
1  2  4  6  6  8  4  2  1
1  2  4  6  6  8  4  2  1
1  2  4  6  6  8  4  2  1
