Description

These operations perform pixel arithmetic, that is, they perform an arithmetic operation, such as addition, on every pixel in an image or a pair of images. All (except in a few cases noted below) will work with images of any type or any mixture of types, of any size and of any number of bands.

For binary operations, if the number of bands differs, one of the images must have one band. In this case, an n-band image is formed from the one-band image by joining n copies of the one-band image together, and then the two n-band images are operated upon.

In the same way, for operations that take an array constant, such as vips_remainder_const(), you can mix single-element arrays or single-band images freely.

Arithmetic operations try to preserve precision by increasing the number of bits in the output image when necessary. Generally, this follows the ANSI C conventions for type promotion, so multiplying two VIPS_FORMAT_UCHAR images together, for example, produces a VIPS_FORMAT_USHORT image, and taking the vips_cos() of a VIPS_FORMAT_USHORT image produces VIPS_FORMAT_FLOAT image.

For binary arithmetic operations, type promotion occurs in two stages. First, the two input images are cast up to the smallest common format, that is, the type with the smallest range that can represent the full range of both inputs. This conversion can be represented as a table:

Table 1. Smallest common format

in2/in1 uchar char ushort short uint int float double complex double complex
uchar ushort short ushort short uint int float double complex double complex
char short short short short int int float double complex double complex
ushort ushort short ushort short uint int float double complex double complex
short short short short short int int float double complex double complex
uint uint int uint int uint int float double complex double complex
int int int int int int int float double complex double complex
float float float float float float float float double complex double complex
double double double double double double double double double double complex double complex
complex complex complex complex complex complex complex complex double complex complex double complex
double complex double complex double complex double complex double complex double complex double complex double complex double complex double complex double complex

In the second stage, the operation is performed between the two identical types to form the output. The details vary between operations, but generally the principle is that the output type should be large enough to represent the whole range of possible values, except that int never becomes float.

Functions

vips_add ()

int
vips_add (VipsImage *left,
          VipsImage *right,
          VipsImage **out,
          ...);

This operation calculates in1 + in2 and writes the result to out .

If the images differ in size, the smaller image is enlarged to match the larger by adding zero pixels along the bottom and right.

If the number of bands differs, one of the images must have one band. In this case, an n-band image is formed from the one-band image by joining n copies of the one-band image together, and then the two n-band images are operated upon.

The two input images are cast up to the smallest common format (see table Smallest common format in

arithmetic), then the

following table is used to determine the output type:

Table 2. VipsAdd type promotion

input type output type
uchar ushort
char short
ushort uint
short int
uint uint
int int
float float
double double
complex complex
double complex double complex

In other words, the output type is just large enough to hold the whole range of possible values.

Operations on integer images are performed using the processor's vector unit, if possible. Disable this with --vips-novector or IM_NOVECTOR.

See also: vips_subtract(), vips_linear().

Parameters

left

input image

 

right

input image

 

out

vips_sum ()

int
vips_sum (VipsImage **in,
          VipsImage **out,
          int n,
          ...);

This operation sums all images in in and writes the result to out .

If the images differ in size, the smaller images are enlarged to match the largest by adding zero pixels along the bottom and right.

If the number of bands differs, all but one of the images must have one band. In this case, n-band images are formed from the one-band images by joining n copies of the one-band images together, and then the n-band images are operated upon.

The input images are cast up to the smallest common format (see table Smallest common format in

arithmetic), then the

following table is used to determine the output type:

Table 3. VipsSum type promotion

input type output type
uchar uint
char int
ushort uint
short int
uint uint
int int
float float
double double
complex complex

             int n,
             ...);

Optional arguments:

uchar : output uchar pixels

Pass an image through a linear transform, ie. (out = in * a + b ). Output is float for integer input, double for double input, complex for complex input and double complex for double complex input. Set uchar to output uchar pixels.

If the arrays of constants have just one element, that constant is used for all image bands. If the arrays have more than one element and they have the same number of elements as there are bands in the image, then one array element is used for each band. If the arrays have more than one element and the image only has a single band, the result is a many-band image where each band corresponds to one array element.

If the images differ in size, the smaller image is enlarged to match the larger by adding zero pixels along the bottom and right.

If the number of bands differs, one of the images must have one band. In this case, an n-band image is formed from the one-band image by joining n copies of the one-band image together, and then the two n-band images are operated upon.

This operation calculates in % c (remainder after division by an array of constants) and writes the result to out . The image may have any non-complex format. For float formats, vips_remainder_const() calculates in - c * floor (in / c ).

If the array of constants has just one element, that constant is used for all image bands. If the array has more than one element and they have the same number of elements as there are bands in the image, then one array element is used for each band.

            VipsImage **out,
            VipsOperationMath2 math2,
            ...);

This operation calculates a 2-ary maths operation on a pair of images and writes the result to out . The images may have any non-complex format. out is float except in the case that either of left or right are double, in which case out is also double.

It detects division by zero, setting those pixels to zero in the output. Beware: it does this silently!

If the images differ in size, the smaller image is enlarged to match the larger by adding zero pixels along the bottom and right.

If the number of bands differs, one of the images must have one band. In this case, an n-band image is formed from the one-band image by joining n copies of the one-band image together, and then the two n-band images are operated upon.

The two input images are cast up to the smallest common format (see table Smallest common format in

arithmetic), and that format is the

result type.

If the array of constants has just one element, that constant is used for all image bands. If the array has more than one element and they have the same number of elements as there are bands in the image, then one array element is used for each band. If the arrays have more than one element and the image only has a single band, the result is a many-band image where each band corresponds to one array element.

Find the circular Hough transform of an image. in must be one band, with non-zero pixels for image edges. out is three-band, with the third channel representing the detected circle radius. The operation scales the number of votes by circle circumference so circles of differing size are given equal weight.

Use max_radius and min_radius to set the range of radii to search for.

Use scale to set how in coordinates are scaled to out coordinates. A scale of 3, for example, will make out 1/3rd of the width and height of in , and reduce the number of radii tested (and hence the number of bands int out ) by a factor of three as well.
