TIEBitmapHelper.Inpaint

Declaration

// ImageEnView1.SelectionMask overload
function Inpaint(SelectionMask: TIEMask; Range: Double = 3; Method: TIEVisionInpaintMethod = ievINPAINT_NS): Boolean; overload;

// Rect overload
function Inpaint(aRect: TRect; Range: Double = 3; Method: TIEVisionInpaintMethod = ievINPAINT_NS): Boolean; overload;

// Brush overload
function Inpaint(CenterPt: TPoint; BrushSizeX, BrushSizeY: Integer; Range: Double = 3; Method: TIEVisionInpaintMethod = ievINPAINT_NS): Boolean; overload;

Description

A shortcut method that calls inpaint with either a selection mask or rectangle to inpaint content.

Parameter	Description
SelectionMask	The current selection mask, typically this will be ImageEnView1.SelectionMask
aRect	Specify a rect that will be inpainted (in bitmap values)
CenterPt, BrushSizeX, BrushSizeY	For brush inpainting, specify the center of the inpainting (e.g. click position) and the brush size (in bitmap values)
Range	Radius of a circular neighborhood of each point inpainted that is considered by the algorithm (3 is a reasonable starting value)
Method	The inpainting algorithm, either Navier-Stokes method (ievINPAINT_NS) or the Telea algorithm (ievINPAINT_TELEA)

Result will be false if there is no selection or an error occurs.

Note:
◼You must add the iexHelperFunctions unit to your uses clause
◼Delphi/C++ 2005 or newer is required to use helper classes
◼Inpainting requires IEVision. You will need to register it before calling the method
◼If attached to a TImageEnView, it will automatically call Update

SelectionMask Overload
The following call:

ImageEnView1.IEBitmap.Inpaint( ImageEnView1.SelectionMask, 4, ievINPAINT_TELEA );

Is the same as calling:

// Encapsulate ImageEn selection mask in IEVision image
mask := IEVisionLib.createImage( ImageEnView1.IEBitmap.Width, ImageEnView1.IEBitmap.Height, ievUINT8, 1 );
mask.copyFrom( ievUINT1, 1, ImageEnView1.SelectionMask.Rowlen, ImageEnView1.SelectionMask.ScanLine[ ImageEnView1.SelectionMask.Height - 1 ]);
mask.flip( ievX_AXIS );

// Perform inpaint
ImageEnView1.IEBitmap.GetIEVisionImage().inpaint( mask, 4, ievINPAINT_TELEA );
ImageEnView1.Update();

Brush Overload
The following call:

procedure TMainForm.ImageEnView1MouseDown(Sender: TObject; Button: TMouseButton; Shift: TShiftState; X, Y: Integer);
var
  bmpX, bmpY: integer;
begin
  // Convert screen coordinates to bitmap coordinates
  bmpX := ImageEnView1.XScr2Bmp( X );
  bmpY := ImageEnView1.YScr2Bmp( Y );

  ImageEnView1.IEBitmap.Inpaint( Point(bmpX, bmpY), 30, 30, 3, ievINPAINT_TELEA );
end;

Is the same as calling:

procedure TMainForm.ImageEnView1MouseDown(Sender: TObject; Button: TMouseButton; Shift: TShiftState; X, Y: Integer);
var
  brushSize: integer;
  rangeSize: integer;
  maxSizeX, maxSizeY: integer;
  bmpX, bmpY: integer;
  rct: TIEVisionRect;
begin
  // Convert screen coordinates to bitmap coordinates
  bmpX := ImageEnView1.XScr2Bmp( X );
  bmpY := ImageEnView1.YScr2Bmp( Y );

  brushSize := 30;
  rangeSize := 3;
  maxSize := (brushSize + rangeSize*2);     // make sure region of interest (ROI) > brush size

  // Get ROI
  rct := IEVisionRect(bmpX - maxSize div 2, bmpY - maxSize div 2, maxSize, maxSize);

  // Ensure ROI is inside image rect
  rct := IEVisionLib.createMath().rectIntersect(rct, IEVisionRect(0, 0, ImageEnView1.IEBitmap.Width, ImageEnView1.IEBitmap.Height ));

  // Perform inpaint
  ImageEnView1.IEBitmap.GetIEVisionImage().inpaint( brushSize, brushSize, rct, rangeSize, ievINPAINT_TELEA );
  ImageEnView1.Update();
end;

Examples

// Perform inpainting on the current selection
ImageEnView1.IEBitmap.Inpaint( ImageEnView1.SelectionMask, StrToInt(ComboBox2.Text), ievINPAINT_TELEA );
ImageEnView1.Update();

// Perform inpainting when the user clicks the image
procedure TMainForm.ImageEnView1MouseDown(Sender: TObject; Button: TMouseButton; Shift: TShiftState; X, Y: Integer);
var
  bmpX, bmpY: integer;
begin
  // Convert screen coordinates to bitmap coordinates
  bmpX := ImageEnView1.XScr2Bmp( X );
  bmpY := ImageEnView1.YScr2Bmp( Y );

  ImageEnView1.IEBitmap.Inpaint( Point(bmpX, bmpY), 30, 30, 3, ievINPAINT_TELEA );
end;

// Perform inpainting on a rect
r := Rect( 100, 150, 140, 190 );
ImageEnView1.IEBitmap.Inpaint( r, 3 );
