Method Details

convertPixToImage

public static BufferedImage convertPixToImage(Pix pix)
                                       throws IOException

Converts Leptonica Pix to BufferedImage.

Parameters:

pix - source pix

Returns:

BufferedImage output image

Throws:

IOException

convertImageToPix

public static Pix convertImageToPix(BufferedImage image)
                             throws IOException

Converts BufferedImage to Leptonica Pix .

Parameters:

image - source image

Returns:

Pix output pix

Throws:

IOException

removeLines

public static Pix removeLines(Pix pixs)

Removes horizontal lines from a grayscale image. The algorithm is based on Leptonica lineremoval.c example.
To remove vertical lines, rotate the image 90 degrees first, remove the horizontal lines, and rotate it back.

Parameters:

pixs - input pix

Returns:

pix with lines removed

See Also:

• line-removal

removeLines

public static String removeLines(String imageFile)
                          throws IOException

Remove lines from image file.

Parameters:

imageFile - input image

Returns:

temporary multi-page TIFF image file

Throws:

IOException

despeckle

public static Pix despeckle(Pix pixs,
 String selStr,
 int selSize)

Reduces speckle noise in image. The algorithm is based on Leptonica speckle_reg.c example demonstrating morphological method of removing speckle.

Parameters:

pixs - input pix

selStr - hit-miss sels in 2D layout; SEL_STR2 and SEL_STR3 are predefined values

selSize - 2 for 2x2, 3 for 3x3

Returns:

pix with speckle removed

disposePix

public static void disposePix(Pix pix)

Disposes of Pix resource.

Parameters:

pix -

dispose

public static void dispose(com.sun.jna.Structure resource)

Disposes of Leptonica native resource.

Parameters:

resource - A Leptonica object, such as Pix, Pixa, Box, Boxa, PixColormap, etc.
