MaximumImage


Module: FoundationLite

Creates an image from the higher pixel values of each corresponding pair.

Name Type Description
inImage1 Image First input image
inImage2 Image Second input image
inRoi Region* Range of pixels to be processed
outImage Image Output image

Description

The operation computes the maximum of two images. Each outImage pixel is equal to the brighter of the corresponding pixels of the input images.

In multichannel (color) images each pixel channel is processed separately.

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

MaximumImage performed on the sample images.

Hardware Acceleration

This operation is optimized for SSE2 technology for pixels of types: UINT8, SINT8, UINT16, SINT16, REAL.

This operation is optimized for AVX2 technology for pixels of types: UINT8, SINT8, UINT16, SINT16, REAL.

This operation supports automatic parallelization for multicore and multiprocessor systems.

Errors

This filter can throw an exception to report error. Read how to deal with errors in Error Handling.

List of possible exceptions:

Error type Description
DomainError Image formats are not the same in MaximumImage.
DomainError Image sizes are not equal in MaximumImage.
DomainError Region exceeds an input image in MaximumImage.

Complexity Level

This filter is available on Basic Complexity Level.
