## Detailed Description

Perform 1D convolution and separable filtering in 2 dimensions.

These generic convolution functions implement the standard convolution operation for a wide range of images and signals that fit into the required interface. They need a suitable kernel to operate.

## Function Documentation

template<... >
void vigra::convolveLine | ( |  | ... | ) |

Performs a 1-dimensional convolution of the source signal using the given kernel.

The KernelIterator must point to the center iterator, and the kernel's size is given by its left (kleft <= 0) and right (kright >= 0) borders. The signal must always be larger than the kernel. At those positions where the kernel does not completely fit into the signal's range, the specified BorderTreatmentMode is applied.

The signal's value_type (SrcAccessor::value_type) must be a linear space over the kernel's value_type (KernelAccessor::value_type), i.e. addition of source values, multiplication with kernel values, and NumericTraits must be defined. The kernel's value_type must be an algebraic field, i.e. the arithmetic operations (+, -, *, /) and NumericTraits must be defined.

Declarations:

pass arguments explicitly:

        namespace vigra {
            template <class SrcIterator, class SrcAccessor,
                      class DestIterator, class DestAccessor,
                      class KernelIterator, class KernelAccessor>
            void convolveLine(SrcIterator is, SrcIterator isend, SrcAccessor sa,
                              DestIterator id, DestAccessor da,
                              KernelIterator ik, KernelAccessor ka,
                              int kleft, int kright, BorderTreatmentMode border)
        }

use argument objects in conjunction with Argument Object Factories :

        namespace vigra {
            template <class SrcIterator, class SrcAccessor,
                      class DestIterator, class DestAccessor,
                      class KernelIterator, class KernelAccessor>
            void convolveLine(triple<SrcIterator, SrcIterator, SrcAccessor> src,
                              pair<DestIterator, DestAccessor> dest,
                              tuple5<KernelIterator, KernelAccessor,
                                     int, int, BorderTreatmentMode> kernel)
        }

Usage:

#include <vigra/separableconvolution.hxx>

        std::vector<float> src, dest;
        ...

        // define binomial filter of size 5
        static float kernel[] =
               { 1.0/16.0, 4.0/16.0, 6.0/16.0, 4.0/16.0, 1.0/16.0};

        typedef vigra::StandardAccessor<float> FAccessor;
        typedef vigra::StandardAccessor<float> KernelAccessor;

        vigra::convolveLine(src.begin(), src.end(), FAccessor(), dest.begin(), FAccessor(),
                 kernel+2, KernelAccessor(), -2, 2, BORDER_TREATMENT_REFLECT);
        //       ^^^^^^^^  this is the center of the kernel

Required Interface:

        RandomAccessIterator is, isend;
        RandomAccessIterator id;
        RandomAccessIterator ik;

        SrcAccessor src_accessor;
        DestAccessor dest_accessor;
        KernelAccessor kernel_accessor;

        NumericTraits<SrcAccessor::value_type>::RealPromote s = src_accessor(is);

        s = s + s;
        s = kernel_accessor(ik) * s;

        dest_accessor.set(
            NumericTraits<DestAccessor::value_type>::fromRealPromote(s), id);

If border == BORDER_TREATMENT_CLIP:

        NumericTraits<KernelAccessor::value_type>::RealPromote k = kernel_accessor(ik);

        k = k + k;
        k = k - k;
        k = k * k;
        k = k / k;

Preconditions:

        kleft <= 0
        kright >= 0
        iend - is >= kright + kleft + 1

If border == BORDER_TREATMENT_CLIP: Sum of kernel elements must be != 0.
