EvaluateImage

EvaluateImage() applies a value to the image with an arithmetic, relational, or logical operator to an image. Use these operations to lighten or darken an image, to increase or decrease contrast in an image, or to produce the "negative" of an image.

The format of the EvaluateImageChannel method is:

MagickBooleanType EvaluateImage(Image *image,
  const MagickEvaluateOperator op,const double value,
  ExceptionInfo *exception)
MagickBooleanType EvaluateImages(Image *images,
  const MagickEvaluateOperator op,const double value,
  ExceptionInfo *exception)
MagickBooleanType EvaluateImageChannel(Image *image,
  const ChannelType channel,const MagickEvaluateOperator op,
  const double value,ExceptionInfo *exception)

A description of each parameter follows:

image
the image.
channel
the channel.
op
A channel op.
value
A value value.
exception
return any errors or warnings in this structure.

FunctionImage

FunctionImage() applies a value to the image with an arithmetic, relational, or logical operator to an image. Use these operations to lighten or darken an image, to increase or decrease contrast in an image, or to produce the "negative" of an image.

The format of the FunctionImageChannel method is:

MagickBooleanType FunctionImage(Image *image,
  const MagickFunction function,const ssize_t number_parameters,
  const double *parameters,ExceptionInfo *exception)
MagickBooleanType FunctionImageChannel(Image *image,
  const ChannelType channel,const MagickFunction function,
  const ssize_t number_parameters,const double *argument,
  ExceptionInfo *exception)

A description of each parameter follows:

image
the image.
channel
the channel.
function
A channel function.
parameters
one or more parameters.
exception
return any errors or warnings in this structure.

GetImageChannelEntropy

GetImageChannelEntropy() returns the entropy of one or more image channels.

The format of the GetImageChannelEntropy method is:

MagickBooleanType GetImageChannelEntropy(const Image *image,
  const ChannelType channel,double *entropy,ExceptionInfo *exception)

A description of each parameter follows:

image
the image.
channel
the channel.
entropy
the average entropy of the selected channels.
exception
return any errors or warnings in this structure.

GetImageChannelKurtosis

GetImageChannelKurtosis() returns the kurtosis and skewness of one or more image channels.

The format of the GetImageChannelKurtosis method is:

MagickBooleanType GetImageChannelKurtosis(const Image *image,
  const ChannelType channel,double *kurtosis,double *skewness,
  ExceptionInfo *exception)

A description of each parameter follows:

image
the image.
channel
the channel.
kurtosis
the kurtosis of the channel.
skewness
the skewness of the channel.
exception
return any errors or warnings in this structure.

GetImageChannelMean

GetImageChannelMean() returns the mean and standard deviation of one or more image channels.

The format of the GetImageChannelMean method is:

MagickBooleanType GetImageChannelMean(const Image *image,
  const ChannelType channel,double *mean,double *standard_deviation,
  ExceptionInfo *exception)

A description of each parameter follows:

image
the image.
channel
the channel.
mean
the average value in the channel.
standard_deviation
the standard deviation of the channel.
exception
return any errors or warnings in this structure.

GetImageChannelMoments

GetImageChannelMoments() returns the normalized moments of one or more image channels.

The format of the GetImageChannelMoments method is:

ChannelMoments *GetImageChannelMoments(const Image *image,
  ExceptionInfo *exception)

A description of each parameter follows:

image
the image.
exception
return any errors or warnings in this structure.

GetImageChannelPerceptualHash

GetImageChannelPerceptualHash() returns the perceptual hash of one or more image channels.

The format of the GetImageChannelPerceptualHash method is:

ChannelPerceptualHash *GetImageChannelPerceptualHash(const Image *image,
  ExceptionInfo *exception)

A description of each parameter follows:

image
the image.
exception
return any errors or warnings in this structure.

GetImageChannelRange

GetImageChannelRange() returns the range of one or more image channels.

The format of the GetImageChannelRange method is:

MagickBooleanType GetImageChannelRange(const Image *image,
  const ChannelType channel,double *minima,double *maxima,
  ExceptionInfo *exception)

A description of each parameter follows:

image
the image.
channel
the channel.
minima
the minimum value in the channel.
maxima
the maximum value in the channel.
exception
return any errors or warnings in this structure.

GetImageChannelStatistics

GetImageChannelStatistics() returns statistics for each channel in the image. The statistics include the channel depth, its minima, maxima, mean, standard deviation, kurtosis and skewness. You can access the red channel mean, for example, like this:

channel_statistics=GetImageChannelStatistics(image,exception);
red_mean=channel_statistics[RedChannel].mean;

Use MagickRelinquishMemory() to free the statistics buffer.

The format of the GetImageChannelStatistics method is:

ChannelStatistics *GetImageChannelStatistics(const Image *image,
  ExceptionInfo *exception)

A description of each parameter follows:

image
the image.
exception
return any errors or warnings in this structure.

PolynomialImage

PolynomialImage() returns a new image where each pixel is the sum of the pixels in the image sequence after applying its corresponding terms (coefficient and degree pairs).

The format of the PolynomialImage method is:
