MV Image File Source DirectShow Filter
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
