Detailed Description

Implement a post-processing edge detection with a Sobel gradient magnitude render pass.

Detect the edges of the image renderered by its delegate. Edge-detection uses a Sobel high-pass filter (3x3 kernel).

This pass expects an initialized depth buffer and color buffer. Initialized buffers means they have been cleared with farest z-value and background color/gradient/transparent color. An opaque pass may have been performed right after the initialization.

The delegate is used once.

Its delegate is usually set to a vtkCameraPass or to a post-processing pass.

This pass requires a OpenGL context that supports texture objects (TO), framebuffer objects (FBO) and GLSL. If not, it will emit an error message and will render its delegate and return.

Implementation:
To compute the gradient magnitude, the x and y components of the gradient (Gx and Gy) have to be computed first. Each computation of Gx and Gy uses a separable filter. The first pass takes the image from the delegate as the single input texture. The first pass has two outputs, one for the first part of Gx, Gx1, result of a convolution with (-1 0 1), one for the first part of Gy, Gy1, result of a convolution with (1 2 1). The second pass has two inputs, Gx1 and Gy1. Kernel (1 2 1)^T is applied to Gx1 and kernel (-1 0 1)^T is applied to Gx2. It gives the values for Gx and Gy. Thoses values are then used to compute the magnitude of the gradient which is stored in the render target. The gradient computation happens per component (R,G,B). A is arbitrarly set to 1 (full opacity).

Member Function Documentation

static vtkSobelGradientMagnitudePass* vtkSobelGradientMagnitudePass::New (  )  [static]

Create an object with Debug turned off, modified time initialized to zero, and reference counting on.

Reimplemented from vtkObject.

virtual const char* vtkSobelGradientMagnitudePass::GetClassName (  )  [virtual]

Reimplemented from vtkImageProcessingPass.

static int vtkSobelGradientMagnitudePass::IsTypeOf ( const char *  name  )  [static]

Return 1 if this class type is the same type of (or a subclass of) the named class. Returns 0 otherwise. This method works in combination with vtkTypeMacro found in vtkSetGet.h.

Reimplemented from vtkImageProcessingPass.

virtual int vtkSobelGradientMagnitudePass::IsA ( const char *  name  )  [virtual]

Return 1 if this class is the same type of (or a subclass of) the named class. Returns 0 otherwise. This method works in combination with vtkTypeMacro found in vtkSetGet.h.

Reimplemented from vtkImageProcessingPass.

static vtkSobelGradientMagnitudePass* vtkSobelGradientMagnitudePass::SafeDownCast ( vtkObject o  )  [static]

Reimplemented from vtkImageProcessingPass.

void vtkSobelGradientMagnitudePass::PrintSelf ( ostream &  os,
vtkIndent  indent 
) [virtual]

Methods invoked by print to print information about the object including superclasses. Typically not called by the user (use Print() instead) but used in the hierarchical print process to combine the output of several classes.

Reimplemented from vtkImageProcessingPass.

virtual void vtkSobelGradientMagnitudePass::Render ( const vtkRenderState s  )  [virtual]

Perform rendering according to a render state s.

Precondition:
s_exists: s!=0

Implements vtkRenderPass.

void vtkSobelGradientMagnitudePass::ReleaseGraphicsResources ( vtkWindow w  )  [virtual]

Release graphics resources and ask components to release their own resources.

Precondition:
w_exists: w!=0

Reimplemented from vtkImageProcessingPass.
