ImageAccess: the interface layer

Pixel access

imageaccessA high level class ImageAccess allows an access to the pixels of an image. The access is independent of the image type. The data retrieved by the methods of the ImageAccess class are always in double format; hence the programmer writes the image processing code only once in double and the type conversion is handled automatically.

The typical way to program is to retrieve an image block using a method that begins by get...(). The block is processed and the result is written using a put...() method. The block can be a pixel, a row, a column or a 3*3 neighborhood window. To have the complete list of methods, see the documentation in HTML format.
