Image Processing Image Processing Custom Editing Form Image Types The tool can accept unsigned 8-bit, signed 16-bit, and signed 32-bit images as input. The pro- cessing is usually performed in the defined type, based on input or operand image, or in a pro- moted type (signed 16-bit), if needed. The Image Processing Tool output is of the same type as the input image unless the user overrides the type by setting another value, or an output image already exists. What is an Image Processing Operation An image processing operation is a process carried out by the Image Processing Tool on an Input image. The result of an operation is an output image that can be used by other ACE Sight vision tools.
Image Processing operations are typically applied to images before they are processed by other vision tools. Some complex image processing applications may require two or more Image Processing operations. ACEUser's Guide, 3.6.x, 18316-000 Rev A Page 503
