Public methodApply(Bitmap)
Apply filter to an image.
(Inherited from BaseFilter.)
Public methodApply(BitmapData)
Apply filter to an image.
(Inherited from BaseFilter.)
Public methodApply(UnmanagedImage)
Apply filter to an image in unmanaged memory.
(Inherited from BaseFilter.)
Public methodApply(UnmanagedImage, UnmanagedImage)
Apply filter to an image in unmanaged memory.
(Inherited from BaseFilter.)
Public methodEquals
Determines whether the specified object is equal to the current object.
(Inherited from Object.)

Allows an object to try to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before it is reclaimed by garbage collection.
(Inherited from Object.)
Public methodGetHashCode
Serves as the default hash function.
(Inherited from Object.)
Public methodGetType
Gets the Type of the current instance.
(Inherited from Object.)
Protected methodMemberwiseClone
Creates a shallow copy of the current Object.

Extension Methods
  NameDescription
Public Extension MethodHasMethod
Checks whether an object implements a method with the given name.
(Defined by ExtensionMethods.)
Public Extension MethodIsEqual
Compares two objects for equality, performing an elementwise comparison if the elements are vectors or matrices.
(Defined by Matrix.)
Public Extension MethodTo(Type)Overloaded.
Converts an object into another type, irrespective of whether the conversion can be done at compile time or not. This can be used to convert generic types to numeric types during runtime.
(Defined by ExtensionMethods.)
Public Extension MethodToTOverloaded.
Converts an object into another type, irrespective of whether the conversion can be done at compile time or not. This can be used to convert generic types to numeric types during runtime.
(Defined by ExtensionMethods.)

Remarks

This class is the base class for image grayscaling. Other classes should inherit from this class and specify RGB coefficients used for color image conversion to grayscale.

The filter accepts 24, 32, 48 and 64 bpp color images and produces 8 (if source is 24 or 32 bpp image) or 16 (if source is 48 or 64 bpp image) bpp grayscale image.

Sample usage:

Copy
// create grayscale filter (BT709)
Grayscale filter = new Grayscale( 0.2125, 0.7154, 0.0721 );
// apply the filter
Bitmap grayImage = filter.Apply( image );
