image = appendColorChannelImg (inImg1,inImg2)

Detailed Description

Generates a color image by merging the color channel of the two input images.

This algorithm merges the channels of the two input images InImg1 and InImg2 in a unique image. By defining a pixel coordinate $x$ , a channel index $c$ and the number of channels in the first input image $sizeC1$ , the result is given by the formula:

$OutImg[x, c] = \begin{cases} InImg1[x, c], & \text{if }c < sizeC1 \\ InImg2[x, c-sizeC1], & \text{if } c \geq sizeC1\end{cases}$

Here is an example of result:

Example of Python code :

Example imports

import PyIPSDK

import PyIPSDK.IPSDKIPLColor as color

Code Example

    # opening input images
    inImg1 = PyIPSDK.loadTiffImageFile(inputImgPath1)
    inImg2 = PyIPSDK.loadTiffImageFile(inputImgPath2)
    
    # images addition
    outImg = color.appendColorChannelImg(inImg1, inImg2)

Code Example

        // opening input image
        ImagePtr pInImg1 = loadTiffImageFile(inputPath1);
        ImagePtr pInImg2 = loadTiffImageFile(inputPath2);
        
        // compute lightness on input image
        ImagePtr pOutImg = appendColorChannelImg(pInImg1, pInImg2);
