MV Image File Source filter property page
The MontiVision Image File Source filter is used to load still images. This filter supports two working modes. Either a loaded image is sent exactly one time or it is treated like a video stream and sent periodically. The frame rate can be specified freely in the range 0-100 frames per second. This filter is very useful for the development process, because downstream image processing filters can be modified while the reference image stays the same. Still image processing is also very convenient, because every change of the image processing algorithm is applied in realtime. The following formats are supported by this filter: Bitmap (*.bmp), JPEG (*.jpg), TIFF (*.tif), TTF (*.ttf), ICON (*.ico), JFIF (*.jif), PCD (*.pcd), PCX (*.pcx), PNG (*.png), PBM (*.pbm), PGM (*.pgm), PPM (*.ppm), RAS (*.ras), TARGA (*.tga) .
This MontiVision DirectShow Filter is used in combination with the MontiVision Smart Control in the BlobCounter, PutBitmap and ImageStream Sample Applications.
