Canny

Implements Canny algorithm for edge detection.

Syntax

IppStatus ippiCanny_16s8u_C1R(Ipp16s* pSrcDx, int srcDxStep, Ipp16s* pSrcDy, int srcDyStep, Ipp8u* pDstEdges, int dstEdgeStep, IppiSize roiSize, Ipp32f lowThreshold, Ipp32f highThreshold, Ipp8u* pBuffer);

IppStatus ippiCanny_32f8u_C1R(Ipp32f* pSrcDx, int srcDxStep, Ipp32f* pSrcDy, int srcDyStep, Ipp8u* pDstEdges, int dstEdgeStep, IppiSize roiSize, Ipp32f lowThreshold, Ipp32f highThreshold, Ipp8u* pBuffer);

Platform-aware functions

IppStatus ippiCanny_16s8u_C1R_L(Ipp16s* pSrcDx, IppSizeL srcDxStep, Ipp16s* pSrcDy, IppSizeL srcDyStep, Ipp8u* pDstEdges, IppSizeL dstEdgeStep, IppiSizeL roiSize, Ipp32f lowThreshold, Ipp32f highThreshold, IppNormType norm, Ipp8u* pBuffer);

IppStatus ippiCanny_32f8u_C1R_L(Ipp32f* pSrcDx, IppSizeL srcDxStep, Ipp32f* pSrcDy, IppSizeL srcDyStep, Ipp8u* pDstEdges, IppSizeL dstEdgeStep, IppiSizeL roiSize, Ipp32f lowThreshold, Ipp32f highThreshold, IppNormType norm, Ipp8u* pBuffer);

Libraries: ippcore.lib, ippvm.lib, ipps.lib, ippi.lib

Parameters

pSrcDx: Pointer to the source image ROI x-derivative.
srcDxStep: Distance in bytes between starts of consecutive lines in the source image pSrcDx.
pSrcDy: Pointer to the source image ROI y-derivative.
srcDyStep: Distance, in bytes, between the starting points of consecutive lines in the source image pSrcDy.
pDstEdges: Pointer to the output array of the detected edges.
dstEdgeStep: Distance, in bytes, between the starting points of consecutive lines in the output image.
roiSize: Size of the source image ROI in pixels.
lowThreshold: Lower threshold for edges detection.
highThreshold: Upper threshold for edges detection.
norm: Normalization type; supported values: ippNormL1 and ippNormL2.
pBuffer: Pointer to the pre-allocated temporary buffer.

Description

This function operates with ROI (see Regions of Interest in Intel IPP). This function finds edges in the source image ROI and stores them into the output image pDstEdges using the Canny algorithm. The function requires a temporary working buffer; its size should be computed previously by calling the function ippiCannyGetSize.

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 pRoiSize has a field with zero or negative value.
ippStsStepErr	Indicates an error condition if srcDxStep, srcDyStep or dstEdgeStep is less than roi.width*<pixelSize>.
ippStsBadArgErr	Indicates an error when lowThresh is negative or highThresh is less than lowThresh.
ippStsNotEvenStepErr	Indicates an error condition if one of the step values is not divisible by 2 for 16s images, and by 4 for 32f images.
