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

Idea of the filter is the same as idea of Threshold filter - change pixel value to white, if its intensity is equal or higher than threshold value, or to black otherwise. But instead of using single threshold value for all pixel, the filter uses matrix of threshold values. Processing image is divided to adjacent windows of matrix size each. For pixels binarization inside of each window, corresponding threshold values are used from specified threshold matrix.

The filter accepts 8 bpp grayscale images for processing.

Sample usage:

// create binarization matrix
byte[,] matrix = new byte[4, 4]
{
    {  95, 233, 127, 255 },
    { 159,  31, 191,  63 },
    { 111, 239,  79, 207 },
    { 175,  47, 143,  15 }
};
// create filter
OrderedDithering filter = new OrderedDithering( matrix );
// apply the filter
filter.ApplyInPlace( image );
