FilterGaussian

Performs Gaussian filtering of an image with user-defined borders.

Syntax

Case 1: Operating on one-channel data

IppStatus ippiFilterGaussian_<mod>(const Ipp<datatype>* pSrc, int srcStep, Ipp<datatype>* pDst, int dstStep, IppiSize roiSize, IppiBorderType borderType, const Ipp<datatype> borderValue[1], IppFilterGaussianSpec* pSpec, Ipp8u* pBuffer);

Supported values for mod:

8u_C1R 16u_C1R 16s_C1R 32f_C1R

Case 2: Operating on multi-channel data

IppStatus ippiFilterGaussian_<mod>(const Ipp<datatype>* pSrc, int srcStep, Ipp<datatype>* pDst, int dstStep, IppiSize roiSize, IppiBorderType borderType, const Ipp<datatype> borderValue[3], IppFilterGaussianSpec* pSpec, Ipp8u* pBuffer);

Supported values for mod:

8u_C3R 16u_C3R 16s_C3R 32f_C3R

Case 3: Operating on one-channel data with platform-aware functions

IppStatus ippiFilterGaussian_<mod>(const Ipp<datatype>* pSrc, IppSizeL srcStep, Ipp<datatype>* pDst, IppSizeL dstStep, IppiSizeL roiSize, IppiBorderType borderType, const Ipp<datatype> borderValue[1], IppFilterGaussianSpec* pSpec, Ipp8u* pBuffer);

Supported values for mod:

8u_C1R_L 16u_C1R_L 16s_C1R_L 32f_C1R_L

Case 4: Operating on multi-channel data with platform-aware functions

IppStatus ippiFilterGaussian_<mod>(const Ipp<datatype>* pSrc, IppSizeL srcStep, Ipp<datatype>* pDst, IppSizeL dstStep, IppiSizeL roiSize, IppiBorderType borderType, const Ipp<datatype> borderValue[3], IppFilterGaussianSpec* pSpec, Ipp8u* pBuffer);

Supported values for mod:

Parameters

pSrc

Pointer to the source image ROI.

srcStep

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

pDst

Pointer to the destination image ROI.

dstStep

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

roiSize

Size of the source and destination image ROI, in pixels.

borderType

One of the supported border types.

borderValue

Constant value to assign to pixels of the constant border. This parameter is applicable only to the ippBorderConst border type.

pSpec

Pointer to the Gaussian specification structure.

pBuffer

Pointer to the work buffer.

Description

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

These functions apply the Gaussian filter to the source image ROI pSrc. The kernel of the Gaussian filter is the matrix of size kernelSizexkernelSize with the standard deviation sigma. The values of the Gaussian kernel elements are computed by the FilterGaussianInit function. Elements of the kernel are normalized. The anchor cell is the center of the kernel.

Before using the ippiFilterGaussian function, compute the size of the Gaussian specification structure using the FilterGaussianGetSpecSize function and the external buffer using the FilterGaussianGetBufferSize function and initialize the structure using the FilterGaussianInit function.

Return Values

ippStsNoErr

Indicates no error.

ippStsNullPtrErr

Indicates an error when one of the specified pointers is NULL.

ippStsSizeErr

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

ippStsStepErr

Indicates an error when srcStep or dstStep is less than roiSize.width*<pixelSize>.

ippStsNotEvenStepErr

Indicates an error when one of the step values is not divisible by sizeof(Ipp<dataType>).

ippStsBorderErr

Indicates an error when borderType has an illegal value.

ippStsBadArgErr

Indicates an error when kernelSize is even, or less than 3.
