Function for color recognition

[Shamma_Almarzooqi]

hello there,

I was using openCV library to implement some image processing functionalities .. and I used this function

cvInRangeS(imgHSV, cvScalar(24, 100, 150), cvScalar(34, 255, 255),
imageTest[0]);
which basically filter out the colors in this range (This is a iyellow color)

I fail to locate a function which is simmilar to it in IPP .. any help ?

I would try to look at a source code forcvInRangeS function. Does it use any IPP functions?Another optionto
consider is IPP thresholding functions.

Best regards,
Sergey

void cvInRangeS( const CvArr* src, CvScalar lower, CvScalar upper, CvArr* dst );

src

The first source array.

lower

The inclusive lower boundary.

upper

The exclusive upper boundary.

dst

The destination array, must have 8u or 8s type.

The function cvInRangeS does the range check for every element of the input array:

dst(I)=lower0 <= src(I)0 < upper0

for a single-channel array,

dst(I)=lower0 <= src(I)0 < upper0 &&
     lower1 <= src(I)1 < upper1

for a two-channel array etc.

dst(I) is set to 0xff (all '1'-bits) if src(I) is within the range and 0 otherwise. All the arrays must have the same size (or ROI size)

-------------------------------------------------------

so it is basically like the threshold function, but instead of having ony the minimum or only the maximum value... it has both the max and min .. to include all the values between them..

Do you have the source codes for the OpenCV library? If Yes, try to look at how the cvInRangeSfunction is implemented.

I looked at the implementation... I can re-code it using IPP basic functions such as the one which give you access to each pixel and then set the value of it .. but I thought there will be a ready function which do such a thing in IPP and will take care of managing the memory ...

Hi shamma,

IPP haven'texact function for this. But as sergey suggested, ipp thresholdshould be ofhelp.

for example,
ippThreshold_LTValGTVal

Performs double thresholding of pixel values in an image buffer.

Case 4: In-place operation on multi-channel data

IppStatus ippiThreshold_LTValGTVal_(Ipp* pSrcDst, int srcDstStep, IppiSize roiSize, const Ipp thresholdLT[3], const Ipp valueLT[3], const Ipp thresholdGT[3], const Ipp valueGT[3]);

Description

The function ippiThreshold_LTValGTVal is declared in the ippi.h file. It operates with ROI (see Regions of Interest in Intel IPP).

This function thresholds pixels in the source image pSrc using two specified levels thresholdLT and thresholdGT. Pixel values in the source image are compared to these levels. If the pixel value is less than thresholdLT, the corresponding output pixel is set to valueLT. If the pixel value is greater than thresholdGT, the output pixel is set to valueGT. Otherwise, it is set to the source pixel value. The value of thresholdLT should be less than or equal to thresholdGT.
