Parameters

pSrc, pSrc1, pSrc2

Pointers to the source image ROI for pixel-order data. An array of pointers to ROI in the separate source color planes in case of planar data.

srcStep, src1Step, src2Step

Distances, in bytes, between the starting points of consecutive lines in the source images.

pSrcDst

Pointer to the source and destination buffer or an array of pointers to separate source and destination color planes for in-place operation.

pDst

Pointer to the destination image ROI for pixel-order data. An array of pointers to ROI in the separate destination color planes in case of planar data.

srcDstStep

Distance, in bytes, between the starting points of consecutive lines in the source and destination image for in-place operation.

dstStep

Distance, in bytes, between the starting points of consecutive lines in the destination image.

roiSize

Size of the source and destination ROI, in pixels.

alphaType

The composition type to perform. See Table “Possible Values of the Parameter alphaType” for the type value and description.

Description

This function operates with ROI (see Regions of Interest in Intel IPP).

This function performs an image compositing operation on RGBA images using alpha values of both images. The compositing is done by overlaying pixels (rA, gA,bA, αA) from the foreground image pSrc1 with pixels (rB,gB,bB, αB) from the background image pSrc2 to produce pixels (rC,gC,bC, αC) in the resultant image pDst. The alpha values are assumed to be normalized to the range [0..1].

The type of the compositing operation is indicated by the alphaType parameter. Use Table “Possible Values of the Parameter alphaType” to choose a valid alphaType value depending on the required composition type. For example, the resulting pixel color components for the OVER operation (see Table “Types of Image Composing Operations”) are computed as follows:

rC = αA * rA +(1 - αA)* αB *rB

gC = αA * gA +(1 - αA)* αB *gB

bC = αA * bA +(1 - αA)* αB *bB

The resulting (normalized) alpha value is computed as

αC = αA +(1 - αA)* αB

This function can be used for unsigned pixel data only.

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 pointers is NULL.

ippStsSizeErr

Indicates an error condition if roiSize has a field with zero or negative value.
