Pixel Container Types

Images

Several image types are supported according to their pixel types: black and white, gray levels, color, etc.

Easy.GetBestMatchingImageType returns the best matching image type for a given file on disk.

BW1	1-bit black and white images (8 pixels are stored in 1 byte)	EImageBW1
BW8	8-bit grayscale images (each pixel is stored in 1 byte)	EImageBW8
BW16	16-bit grayscale images (each pixel is stored in 2 bytes)	EImageBW16
BW32	32-bit grayscale images (each pixel is stored in 4 bytes)	EImageBW32
C15	15-bit color images (each pixel is stored in 2 bytes). Compatible with Microsoft® Windows RGB15 color images and MultiCam RGB15 format.	EImageC15
C16	16-bit color images (each pixel is stored in 2 bytes). Compatible with Microsoft® Windows RGB16 color images and MultiCam RGB16 format.	EImageC16
C24	C24 images store 24-bit color images (each pixel is stored in 3 bytes). Compatible with Microsoft® Windows RGB24 color images and MultiCam RGB24 format.	EImageC24
C24A	C24A images store 32-bit color images (each pixel is stored in 4 bytes). Compatible with Microsoft® Windows RGB32 color images and MultiCam RGB32 format.	EImageC24A

Depth Maps

8 and 16-bit depth map values are stored in buffers compatible with the 2D Open eVision images.

EDepth8	8-bit depth map (each pixel is stored in 1 byte as an integer)	EDepthMap8
EDepth16	16-bit depth map (each pixel is stored in 2 bytes as a fixed point)	EDepthMap16
EDepth32f	32-bit depth map (each pixel is stored in 4 bytes as a float)	EDepthMap32f
