KernelFamily
The family of the kernel matrix. For more information about kernels, refer to Chapter 5, Image Processing, of the NI Vision Concepts Manual.
Elements
| Name | Value | Description |
|---|---|---|
| IMAQ_GRADIENT_FAMILY | 0 | The kernel is in the gradient family. Gradient kernels highlight the variations of light intensity along a specific direction, which has the effect of outlining edges and revealing texture. |
| IMAQ_LAPLACIAN_FAMILY | 1 | The kernel is in the Laplacian family. Laplacian kernels highlight the variation of the light intensity surrounding a pixel. |
| IMAQ_SMOOTHING_FAMILY | 2 | The kernel is in the smoothing family. Smoothing kernels attenuate the variations of light intensity in the neighborhood of a pixel. |
| IMAQ_GAUSSIAN_FAMILY | 3 | The kernel is in the Gaussian family. Gaussian kernels attenuate the variations of light intensity in the neighborhood of a pixel. A Gaussian kernel is similar to a smoothing filter, but its blurring effect is more subdued. |
| IMAQ_KERNEL_FAMILY_SIZE_GUARD | 0xFFFFFFFF | Reserved |
