Description
Input Matrix img1

Input

Image

<active>

Specifies the first input image (Image1). The default input is the active image.

Channel of Image1 c1

Input

int

master

Specifies the channel of Image1, on which the function will be operated. The default is all.
Option list

• master:Master
All channels
• red:Red
Red channel
• green:Green
Green channel
• blue:Blue
Blue channel
Factor *Image1 f1

Input

double

1.0

Specifies a factor, by which image1 will be first multiplied before the math operation. The default factor is 1.0.

Offset Z of Image1 z1

Input

int

0

Specifies a constant, by which image1 will be added after it is multiplied the factor and before the math operation.

Input Matrix img2

Input

Image

<>

Specifies the second input image (Image2), with which the first image will be combined.

Channel of Image2 c2

Input

int

master

Specifies the channel of Image2, on which the function will be operated. The default is all.
Option list

• master:Master
All channels
• red:Red
Red channel
• green:Green
Green channel
• Blue
Blue channel
Factor * Image2 f2

Input

double

1.0

Specifies a factor, by which image2 will be first multiplied before the math operation. The default factor is 1.0.

Math Function func

Input

int

and

Specifies the math function used to combine two images.
Option list

• and:And
Combines each pair of corresponding pixels, using a bitwise AND (&) operation.
• or:Or
Combines each pair of corresponding pixels, using a bitwise OR ( | ) operation.
• xor:Xor
Combines each pair of corresponding pixels, using a bitwise exclusive OR (^) operation.
Adds each pair of corresponding pixels.
• sub12:img1 - img2
Subtracts image2 from image1.
• sub21:img2 - img1
Subtracts image1 from image2.
• mul:img2 * img1
Multiplies each pair of corresponding pixels. If the result exceeds the maximum value (2^bpp-1, where bpp is the bits per pixel), the result will be divided by the maximum value.
• div12:img1/img2
Divides image1 by image2. If image2 > 0, then the result is calculated as follows: result = min( (img1/ img2) * 255, 255 ). Otherwise, if image2 = 0, then result = 255.
• div21:img2/img1
Divides image2 by image1. If image1 > 0, then the result is calculated as follows: result = min( (img2/ img1) * 255, 255 ). Otherwise, if image1 = 0, then result = 255.
• avg:avg (img2,img1)
Uses the average of the two values.
• min:min(img2,img1)
Uses the lesser of the two values
• max:max(img2,img1)
Uses the greater of the two values.
• abs:abs(img2 - img1)
Calculates the absolute difference between the two values.
Output Image oimg

Output

Image

<new>

Specifies the output image. By default, a new image will be created and used as output. See the syntax here.

Offset X x

Input

int

0

Specifies the horizontal offset for Image2. A non-zero value will cause the relative position of two images to be changed.

Offset Y y

Input

int

0

Specifies the vertical offset for Image2. A non-zero value will cause the relative position of two images to be changed.

Crop to Common Area crop

Input

int

0

Specifies whether to crop the output to the common area of two input images.

## Description

The imgSimpleMath function combines data from two images, using the specified mathematic function.

## Examples

• Code Sample
// Subtract background from a cell image then detect the cell edges.
//Create a new folder in the Project Explorer
pe_mkdir EdgeDetection path:=aa$; pe_cd aa$;
//Create a matrix and import the cell image into it
window -t m;
fname$= System.path.program$ +"samples\Image Processing and Analysis\cell.jpg";
impimage;
CellBk$= %h; //Create a matrix and import the background image into it window -t m; fname$ = System.path.program$+"samples\Image Processing and Analysis\bgnd.jpg"; impimage; //Subtract background and pre-processing imgSimpleMath img2:=cellbk$ func:=4 x:=7 y:=13 crop:=1;
imgBinary t1:=65 t2:=255;
imgMedian d:=18;
//Edge detection
imgEdge t:=12 f:=shv;
//Add the edges back to the cell image
imgSimpleMath img2:=cellbk\$ func:=3;

window -z; //Maximize window

## Algorithm

The imgSimpleMath function combines the data byte-by-byte using specified math function. The computation mainly uses L_CombineBitmapExt() function from LEADTOOLS Main API. Please refer to the LEADTOOLS Main API Help file, Version 14 and read the L_CombineBitmapExt topic.
