Converting float matrix to rgb

[John_M_3]

I have the following code written to have IPP resize my matrix:

#include "ipp_mx.h"
#include "ipp.h"

#include "stdafx.h"
#define IPPCALL(name) name

int main()
{
    IppiSize srcSize = { 3,3 };
    float srcImage[9] =
    { 20, 40, 30,
      35, 55, 70,
      100, 30, 20 };
    float* src = new float[srcSize.width*srcSize.height];
    for (int i = 0; i < srcSize.width*srcSize.height; i++) {
        src = srcImage;
    }
    double xFactor = 10; double yFactor = 10;

    int numChannels = 1;
    int bytesPerPixel = 4;
    int srcStep = srcSize.width*bytesPerPixel*numChannels;
    IppiRect srcRoi = { 0, 0, srcSize.width, srcSize.width };

    float* dest = new float[srcSize.width*srcSize.height*xFactor*yFactor];
    IppiSize destSize = { srcSize.width*xFactor, srcSize.height*yFactor };
    int destStep = destSize.width*bytesPerPixel*numChannels;
    IppiRect destRoi = { 0, 0, destSize.width, destSize.width };

    double xShift = 0; double yShift = 0;

    int interpolation = 1; //nearest neighbour

    int bufSize;
    IPPCALL(ippiResizeGetBufSize)(srcRoi, destRoi, 1, interpolation, &bufSize);
    unsigned char* buffer = new unsigned char[bufSize];

    IPPCALL(ippiResizeSqrPixel_32f_C1R)(src, srcSize, srcStep, srcRoi, dest, destStep, destRoi, xFactor, yFactor, xShift, yShift, interpolation, buffer);
    return 0;
}

Is there an IPP function I can use that now converts this float matrix dest to an RGB24 format, given a colour map?

I know I can do it by hand in a for loop, but the raw matrices I want to work with are much larger and for loops may not cut it.

Hi,
Can you suggest how do you want to perform the conversion?   Intel IPP provides one mapping function here:
https://software.intel.com/en-us/node/504062
Can this function be used there? 
If the code just want to convert some data types, it can use the  ippiConvert functions:

Hi,

How I wanted to perform the conversion was, given a float value and an array that maps value ranges to RGB colours, convert the float value to an RGB colour.

What I ended up doing was:

1. ippiConvert_32f8u_C1R - convert the float image to char by truncating as in my case I don't need the decimal precision as the colour steps are integer.
2. ippiGrayToRGB_8u_C1C3R - convert the float to RGB.
3. ippiLUTPallete_8uC3R - given a palette, transform the gray values into colour.

Say a pixel value is 20.5.

1. ippiConvert_328u_C1R converts it to 20.
2. ippiGrayToRGB_8u_C1C3R converts the pixel to 3 channels of 20 red, 20 green, 20 blue.
3. Construct a palette that maps 20 red, 20 green, 20 blue to, say, 0 red, 0 green, 255 blue.
4. Pass the RGB converted pixel and the pallet to ippiLUTPallete_8uC3R which makes the proper transformation to 0, 0, 255.

Thank you
