ImageDev

ConvertImage

Changes the data type and interpretation of an image.

Access to parameter description

The ConvertImage algorithm changes the arithmetic format of the input image to an output image. Conversion follows the C convention, and no overflow is checked.
When converting to a binary image type, non-zero gray level values are changed to 1, and zero gray level values stay unchanged.

The type of the output image is set by an enumerate as detailed in the Data Type Management section.
The available formats are: For conversion from Scalar to Complex, the imaginary part is set to 0 and the real part to the value of the input image.
For conversion from Complex to Scalar, the output is set to the real part of the input image.

Note: The complex is mainly for internal usage. Most of ImageDev algorithms do not acccept a complex image as input for now.
