Function Documentation

int imProcessConvolve (  const imImage *  src_image,
imImage *  dst_image,
const imImage *  kernel
) 
 

Base Convolution with a kernel.
Kernel can be IM_INT or IM_FLOAT, but always IM_GRAY. Use kernel size odd for better results.
Supports all data types. The border is mirrored.
Returns zero if the counter aborted. Most of the convolutions use this function.
If the kernel image attribute "Description" exists it is used by the counter.

im.ProcessConvolve(src_image: imImage, dst_image: imImage, kernel: imImage) -> counter: boolean [in Lua 5] 
im.ProcessConvolveNew(image: imImage, kernel: imImage) -> counter: boolean, new_image: imImage [in Lua 5]

int imProcessConvolveSep (  const imImage *  src_image,
imImage *  dst_image,
const imImage *  kernel
) 
 

Base convolution when the kernel is separable. Only the first line and the first column will be used.
Returns zero if the counter aborted.
If the kernel image attribute "Description" exists it is used by the counter.

Base Convolution with two kernels. The result is the magnitude of the result of each convolution.
Kernel can be IM_INT or IM_FLOAT, but always IM_GRAY. Use kernel size odd for better results.
Supports all data types. The border is mirrored.
Returns zero if the counter aborted. Most of the convolutions use this function.
If the kernel image attribute "Description" exists it is used by the counter.
