Parameters

pSrc1, pSrc2	Pointers to the source images ROI.
src1Step, src2Step	Distance, in bytes, between the starting points of consecutive lines in the source images.
src1Size, src2Size	Size in pixels of the source images.
pDst	Pointer to the destination image ROI.
dstStep	Distance, in bytes, between the starting points of consecutive lines in the destination image.
divisor	The integer value by which the computed result is divided (for operations on integer data only).
algType	Bit-field mask for the algorithm type definition. Possible values are the results of composition of the IppAlgType and IppiROIShape values.
pBuffer	Pointer to the buffer for internal calculations.

Description

Before using this function, you need to compute the size of the work buffer using the ippiConvGetBufferSize function.

The ippiConv function operates with ROI. The type of convolution that function performs is defined by the value of the algType parameter:

If the ippiROIFull flag is set, the function performs full two-dimensional finite linear convolution between two source images pointed by the pSrc1 and pSrc2 parameters. The resulting destination image h[i, j] is computed by the following formula:

where
- M_h = M_f + M_g - 1
  
  where
  - M_f is the number of rows in the first source image matrix f
  - M_g is the number of rows in the second source image matrix g
- N_h = N_f + N_g - 1
  
  where
  - N_f is the number of columns in the first source image matrix f
  - N_g is the number of columns in the second source image matrix g
- 0 ≤i < M_h, 0 ≤i < N_h
If the ippiROIValid flag is set up, the function performs valid two-dimensional finite linear convolution between two source images pointed by the pSrc1 and pSrc2 parameters. The destination image h[i, j] obtained as a result of the function operation is computed by the following formula:

where
- M_h = | M_f - M_g| + 1
  
  where
  - M_f is the number of rows in the first source image matrix f
  - M_g is the number of rows in the second source image matrix g
- N_h = |N_f - N_g| + 1
  
  where
  - N_f is the number of columns in the first source image matrix f
  - N_g is the number of columns in the second source image matrix g
- 0 ≤i < M_h, 0 ≤i < N_h
This case assumes that M_f≥M_g and N_f≥N_g. In case when M_f < M_g and N_f < N_g, the subscript index g in this equation must be replaced with the index f. For any other combination of source image sizes, the function performs no operation.

NOTE:

The above formula provides the same result as in the case with the ippiROIFull flag, but produces only the part of the convolution image that is computed without zero-padded values.

Function flavors that accept input data of the Ipp32f type use the same summation formula, but without scaling of the result (divisor = 1 is assumed).

The following examples illustrate the function operation. For the source images f, g of size 3 x 5 represented as

with g = f:

for the ippiROIFull case, the resulting convolution image h is of size 5 x 9 and contains the following data:
for the ippiROIValid case, the resulting convolution image h is of size 1 x 1 and contains the following data:
h = [11]

Return Values

ippStsNoErr	Indicates no error. Any other value indicates an error.
ippStsNullPtrErr	Indicates an error when any of the specified pointers is NULL.
ippStsSizeErr	Indicates an error when src1Size or src2Size has a zero or negative value.
ippStsStepErr	Indicates an error when src1Step, src2Step, or dstStep has a zero or negative value.
ippStsDivisorErr	Indicates an error when divisor has a zero value.
ippStsAlgTypeErr	Indicates an error when: the result of the bitwise AND operation between the algType and ippAlgMask differs from the ippAlgAuto, ippAlgDirect, or ippAlgFFT values; the result of the bitwise AND operation between the algType and ippiROIMask differs from the ippiROIFull or ippiROIValid values.
