ComposeImages

Header:	AVL.h
Namespace:	avl

Takes pixels from the first image within the specified region and from the other one elsewhere.

Syntax

void avl::ComposeImages
(
	const avl::Image& inImage1,
	const avl::Image& inImage2,
	const avl::Region& inRegion,
	atl::Optional<const avl::Region&> inRoi,
	avl::Image& outImage
)

Parameters

Name	Type	Default	Description
inImage1	const Image&		First source of pixels marked in inRegion
inImage2	const Image&		Background image
inRegion	const Region&		Region which describes which pixels should be taken from inImage1
inRoi	Optional<const Region&>	NIL	Region in which pixels should be processed otherwise black pixels are placed
outImage	Image&		Image composed of tho input images

In-place Processing

This function supports in-place data processing - you can pass the same reference to inImage1 and outImage, inImage2 and outImage

Description

The operation computes the composition of two images. Each outImage pixel is equal to the corresponding pixel of inImage1 iff its location lies inside the inRegion; otherwise the pixel is equal to the corresponding pixel of the inImage2.

The operation requires that the images being processed have equal format and dimensions, otherwise an error with appropriate description occurs. To obtain an image of desired dimensions one can use ResizeImage or CropImage filter. To alter the pixel type of an image one can use ConvertPixelType filter. ConvertToMultichannel and AverageChannels filters allow to alter the number of image channels.

Examples

Example inImage1 and inImage2.
