/** \defgroup process Image Processing
|
|
* \par
|
|
* Several image processing functions based on the \ref imImage structure.
|
|
* \par
|
|
* You must link the application with "im_process.lib/.a/.so".
|
|
* In Lua call require"imlua_process". \n
|
|
* Some complex operations use the \ref counter.\n
|
|
* There is no check on the input/output image properties,
|
|
* check each function documentation before using it.
|
|
* \par
|
|
* To enable OpenMP support use the "im_process_omp.lib/.a/.so" libraries.
|
|
* In Lua call require"imlua_process_omp". \n
|
|
* Notice that multi-threading can be slower than single thread because of
|
|
* the overhead introduced by the threads configuration. \n
|
|
* When using the "im_process_omp" library you can reduce that overhead
|
|
* by using the \ref imProcessOpenMPSetMinCount and \ref imProcessOpenMPSetNumThreads functions.
|
|
* But notice that this is not the same thing as using the library without support for OpenMP. \n
|
|
* \par
|
|
* The parallelization in im_process involves only loops, usually for all the pixels in the image.
|
|
* To accomplish that we had to first isolate the \ref counter code, so the counting could also be done
|
|
* in parallel. Then we made sure that all loops contain only local variables
|
|
* to avoid unnecessary shared variables that could lead to incorrect results.
|
|
* In a few places we use the "atomic" directive to be able to compute histograms and other counts.
|
|
* But min/max computation must be done in single thread
|
|
* because of limitations in OpenMP support in C (in Fortran it would be easy to implement).
|
|
* \par
