CannyBorder

Implements Canny algorithm for edge detection.

Syntax

IppStatus ippiCannyBorder_8u_C1R(const Ipp8u* pSrc, int srcStep, Ipp8u* pDst, int dstStep, IppiSize roiSize, IppiDifferentialKernel filterType, IppiMaskSize mask, IppiBorderType borderType, Ipp8u borderValue, Ipp32f lowThresh, Ipp32f highThresh, IppNormType norm, Ipp8u* pBuffer);

Include Files

ippcv.h

Domain Dependencies

Headers: ippcore.h, ippvm.h, ipps.h, ippi.h

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

Parameters

pSrc

Pointer to the source image.

srcStep

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

pDst

Pointer to the destination image.

dstStep

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

roiSize

Size of the source image ROI in pixels.

filterType

Type of the filter to be applied. Possible values are ippFilterSobel and ippFilterScharr.

mask

The size of the mask. Possible values are ippMskSize3x3 and ippMskSize5x5 for ippFilterSobel, and ippMskSize3x3 for ippFilterScharr.

borderType

Type of border. Possible values are:

ippBorderConst	Values of all border pixels are set to constant.
ippBorderRepl	Border is replicated from the edge pixels.
ippBorderInMem	Border is obtained from the source image pixels in memory.

Mixed borders are also supported. They can be obtained by the bitwise operation OR between ippBorderRepl and ippBorderInMemTop, ippBorderInMemBottom, ippBorderInMemLeft, ippBorderInMemRight.

borderValue

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

lowThresh

Lower threshold for edges detection.

highThresh

Upper threshold for edges detection.

norm

Normalization mode. Possible values are ippNormL1 and ippNormL2.

pBuffer

Pointer to the pre-allocated temporary buffer. To calculate the size of the temporary buffer, use the CannyBorderGetSize function.

Description

This function operates with ROI (see Regions of Interest in Intel IPP). This function finds edges in the ROI of the source image with the user-defined border types using the Canny edge detector algorithm. The output image is stored in pDst.

Before using this function, compute the size of the temporary work buffer using the CannyBorderGetSize function.

Return Values

ippStsNoErr	Indicates no error. Any other value indicates an error or a warning.
ippStsNullPtrErr	Indicates an error when one of the specified pointers is `NULL`.
ippStsMaskSizeErr	Indicates an error when mask has an illegal value.
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 roi.width*<pixelSize>.
ippStsBadArgErr	Indicates an error when lowThresh is negative, or highThresh is less than lowThresh.
ippStsNotEvenStepErr	Indicates an error when one of the step values is not divisible by 2 for 16s images, and by 4 for 32f images.
