Histogram Equalization Input Image

[arrahul]

Hai

Could any one please help me as to how we should provide the input image for a particular IPP Image processing fuction. My input image is in .bmp format. I am stuck with how to read this file format and set the Region of Interest. Should I use the normal fopen function and read the file byte by byte or should i go for some other method?The function in the IPP sample - iplHistoEqualize has the folowing input arguments -

IplImage* srcImage,
IplImage* dstImage,
IplLUT** lut

Please help.

Thanks
Rahul

Hi Rahul,

You may want to look at some of the code samples provided here. (Search for BMP on this web page).

Hope this helps.

Hi Rahul

Did you referred to IPL migration documentation? This is an article about how to migrate from IPL to IPP.

...Should I use the normal fopen function...

Yes. You can use any set of I/O functions:

- In case of CRT-functions:
fopen, fseek,fread, fclose;
or
_open, _filelength, _read, _close;

- In case of Win32-functions: CreateFile, GetFileSIze,ReadFile, CloseHandle;

...read the file byte by byte or should i go for some other method?..

- Byte-by-Byte reading isslow and ineffective;
- Read thefile completely in a buffer.

In general a better way is as follows:

- open a bmp-file
- getthe length
- allocate a buffer with malloc or new
- read data
- process
- save results
- deallocate the buffer with free or delete

Also, there is an example in IPL documentation onhow iplHistoEqualize must be used.
