Image Basics

Select a function from the list below.

Icon Name Description / Applications
ClearImage

Sets image pixels in ROI to the specified value.

CopyImageData

Creates an image copy with the same size and pixel format.

CopyPixels

Copies pixels from one image to another.

EmptyImage

Creates an image filled with one color.


Most typically used to prepare a background for image drawing tools.

FillImage

Fills the input image with one color.

GetImageColumn

Extracts an array of pixel values from a single column of an image.

GetImageData

Extracts the image content (raw pixel data) as a binary buffer.

GetImagePixel

Returns a single pixel of an image.

GetImagePixel_Interpolated

Returns an interpolated single pixel of an image.


Sub-pixel sampling of an image.

GetImageRow

Extracts an array of pixel values from a single row of an image.

GetMultipleImagePixelValues_Safe

Returns an array of pixel values at specified locations; the image range is checked.

ImageBox

Returns a box corresponding to the dimensions of an image.

ImageCharacteristicPoint

Returns one of the 9 characteristic points of an image (corners or mid-points).

ImageToMatrix

Converts a single-channel image to a matrix.

JoinProfilesIntoImage

Creates an image by joining an array of 1D profiles into consecutive image rows.


Usually used for merging 3D profiles into a depth image.

JoinProfilesIntoImage_OfSeries

Creates an image by joining 1D profiles, which appear in consecutive iterations.


Usually used for merging 3D profiles into a depth image.

LoadImageObject

Loads serialized Image object from AVDATA file.

MakeImage

Converts a pixel array to a single-channel image.

MatrixToImage

Converts a matrix to a single-channel real image.

RealignImagePitch

Creates a new image with a standard pitch alignment.


Can be used to normalize an image created with a non-standard third-party camera or framegrabber.

SaveImageObject

Saves serialized Image object as AVDATA file.

SetImageColumn

Sets pixel values in a single entire column of an image.


Allows for creating images from calculated real values. It is significantly slower than SetImageRow.

SetImagePixel

Sets a pixel of an image to the selected value.

SetImagePixels

Sets multiple pixels of an image to the selected value (all the pixels get the same value).

SetImageRow

Sets pixel values in a single entire row of an image.


Allows for creating images from calculated real values.

SetMultipleImagePixels

Sets pixels of an image to the selected values (each pixel gets another value).

SkipEmptyImage

If the input image contains at least one pixel, then it is copied to the output; otherwise Nil is returned.


Secures against domain errors caused by empty images.

TestImage

Returns a sample image.


Makes it possible to quickly present results of various image processing filters.

Icon Name Description / Applications
AvsFilter_AccessImage

Returns individual fields of an image.
