Detailed Description

IntegralImage is used for calculating rectangular image sums and averages rapidly

The integral images are based on making intermediate representation of the image. Using this approach the sum/average of rectangular area can be calculated using only four references for the integral image. The integral images are commonly used with HAAR-like features.

The IntegralImage should be used when we need to a lot of sum/average calculations for the same image.

double alvar::IntegralImage::GetAve ( CvRect & rect )

Calculate the average for the given rectangular area in the image.

Definition at line 103 of file IntegralImage.cpp.

void alvar::IntegralImage::GetSubimage	(	const CvRect &	rect,
		IplImage *	sub
	)

Get a sub-image using integral image representation.

Parameters

rect	The rectangle we want to get the sub-image from
sub	The image where the sub-image is generated. Note, the desired resolution is defined by sub.

Get an image sub with a predefined resolution from the given rectangular area rect . In practice the sub is filled by getting the average with GetAve() for every pixel area.

Examples:: SampleIntegralImage.cpp.

Definition at line 107 of file IntegralImage.cpp.

double alvar::IntegralImage::GetSum	(	CvRect &	rect,
		int *	count = `0`
	)

Calculate the sum for the given rectangular area in the image.

Parameters

rect	The rectancle
count	If this parameter is not 0 it is filled with number of pixels in the rectangle.

Definition at line 83 of file IntegralImage.cpp.

void alvar::IntegralImage::Update ( IplImage * gray )

Update integral image for the given image.

Parameters

gray	The original grayscale image we want analyze
