RemarksThe formula used by this engine must be written according to the custom formula syntax.
Some of the examples below can be implemented with an existing engine. In these cases using the appropriate native engine will be more efficient in term of performance.
Basic usage
This engine accepts three input images which will be referenced as I1, I2 and I3 in the formula. Images two and three are optional and have to be provided if referenced in the formula.
For instance, the formula "if(I2==25, I1, 0)" allows to mask an input grey level image I1 with the blob of intensity 25 in a label image I2.
Usage with kernels
Functions with a variable number of arguments such as min, max, avg, median, sum and product can be used in two ways :
to combine images, for instance "min(I1, I2)"
to compute kernel operations : "min(I1[7, 7])"
Kernels can be defined for these function with the following syntax: IN[x,y] in 2d case and IN[x,y,z] in 3d case. Where N references the used image (in [1,3]), and x,y and z corresponds to the expected kernel size.
For instance, the formula "mean(I1[7, 7])" allows to filter an image I1 by a box filter of size 7x7.
Usage with offsets
Image offset can be defined in formula respecting following syntax : IN(x,y) in 2d case and IN(x,y,z) in 3d case. Where N references the used image (in [1,3]), and x,y and z corresponds to the offsets from the central current pixel. Symbols IN and IN(0,0) are strictly equivalent.
These offsets can be used to compute operations depending on pixels surrounding the current pixel to process.
For instance, a basic horizontal gradient operation can be written "I1(1, 0) - I1(-1, 0)"
Usage of image coordinates
Image coordinates can be used in a formula: x, y and z represent the current pixel coordinates, ox, oy and oz the image origin and gx, gy and gz the image size.
For instance, these coordinates can be used to generate synthetic images. A basic line separation can be written as "if (3*x-100<y, 100, 0)":
