Description

This function operates with ROI (see Regions of Interest in Intel IPP). This function performs one-level wavelet decomposition of a source image pointed to by pSrc into four destination subimages pointed to by pApproxDst, pDetailXDst, pDetailYDst, and pDetailXYDst. See Figure “Equivalent Scheme of Wavelet Decomposition Algorithm” for the equivalent algorithm of ippiWTFwd function operation.

Wavelet parameters are contained in the forward transform specification structure pSpec. Before using this function, compute the size of the structure and work buffer using the WTFwdGetSize function and initialize the structure using WTFwdInit.

Product and Performance Information

Performance varies by use, configuration and other factors. Learn more at www.Intel.com/PerformanceIndex.

Notice revision #20201201

The pointer pSrc points to memory location of the source image rectangular ROI of size srcWidth by srcHeight which is uniquely determined by the size of destination ROI as:

srcWidth = 2 * dstRoiSize.width

srcHeight = 2 * dstRoiSize.height

The source image ROI size always has even dimensions, as it is computed from the dstRoiSize parameter as follows:

srcRoiSize.width = 2 * dstRoiSize.width

srcRoiSize.height = 2 * dstRoiSize.height

To use this function for images with uneven width or height, you should truncate the last column/row or extend an image to even dimensions.

NOTE:

The source image ROI does not include border pixels necessary to compute some destination pixels. It means that prior to using ippiWTFwd function the application program must apply some border extension model (symmetrical, wraparound or another) to the source image ROI through filling of neighboring memory locations. As a result, the size of memory block allocated for the source image must be extended to accommodate for added border pixels outside ROI formal boundaries.

Figure “Extended Source Image for Wavelet Decomposition” schematically shows the source image ROI and extended image area.

Extended Source Image for Wavelet Decomposition

Use the following C-language expressions to calculate extended image border sizes:

int leftBorderLow   = lenLow   - 1 - anchorLow;
int leftBorderHigh  = lenHigh  - 1 - anchorHigh;
int rightBorderLow  = anchorLow;
int rightBorderHigh = anchorHigh;
int leftTopBorder     = IPP_MAX(leftBorderLow, leftBorderHigh);
int rightBottomBorder = IPP_MAX(rightBorderLow, rightBorderHigh);

See the description of the function WTFwdInit for the explanation of the parameters.

Note that the left and top borders have equal size. The same holds for the right and bottom borders which have equal size too.

The size of the source image area extended by border pixels can be defined as

srcWidthWithBorders = srcWidth  + leftTopBorder + rightBottomBorder;    
srcHeightWithBorders = srcHeight + leftTopBorder + rightBottomBorder;

All destination images have equal size specified by the parameter dstRoiSize.

Conversely, to perform a wavelet reconstruction of the full size source image from the component images obtained by decomposition, use extended component images for the reconstruction pass. See the description of the function ippiWTInv for more details.

The ROI concept used in wavelet transform functions can be applied to processing large images by blocks, or ‘tiles'. To accomplish this, the source image should be subdivided into overlapping blocks in the following way:

  • Main part (ROI) of each block is adjacent to neighboring blocks and has no intersection with neighbor's ROIs;
  • Extended borders of each block overlap with ROIs of neighboring blocks.

This subdivision scheme is illustrated in Figure “Image Division into Blocks with Overlapping Borders” .
