ImageClip[image]

clips all channel values in image to lie in the default range.

ImageClip[image,{min,max}]

clips channel values to lie in the range from min to max.

ImageClip[image,{min,max},{vmin,vmax}]

gives vmin for values below min and vmax for values above max.

Details

  • ImageClip[image] is equivalent to ImageClip[image,{0,1}].
  • ImageClip works with any type of 2D or 3D image.
  • ImageClip[image,{{min1,min2,…},{max1,max2,…}},…] specifies ranges separately for each channel.

Basic Examples  (3)

Clip values above a certain threshold:

Wolfram Language code: ImageClip[[image], {0, .5}]

Clip values below a certain threshold to zero:

Wolfram Language code: ImageClip[[image], {0.17, 1}, {0, 1}]

Clip pixels of a 3D image to positive values and adjust for better rendering:

Wolfram Language code: (i = Image3D@GaborMatrix[20, 3{.1, .1, .1}])//ImageAdjust
Wolfram Language code: ImageClip[i, {0, 1}]//ImageAdjust

Scope  (4)

Clip the data stored in an image to the normal range:

Wolfram Language code: ImageClip[Image[{{-0.5, 0.1, 0.5, 2}}]]//ImageData

Specify a clipping range:

Wolfram Language code: ImageClip[Image[{{-0.5, 0.1, 0.5, 2}}], {0, .5}]//ImageData

Specify clipping values:

Wolfram Language code: ImageClip[Image[{{-0.5, 0.1, 0.5, 2}}], {0, .5}, {0, 0}]//ImageData

Specify a clipping range for a "Byte" image:

Wolfram Language code: ImageData[ImageClip[Image[{{0, 50, 150, 250}}, "Byte"], {100, 200} / 255], Automatic]

Applications  (1)

Clip the negative values of a filtered image:

Wolfram Language code: i = LaplacianGaussianFilter[[image], 3]
Wolfram Language code: ImageAdjust /@ {i, ImageClip[i]}

Neat Examples  (1)

Clip an image and adjust the values:

Wolfram Language code: ImageClip[[image], {0, .5}]//ImageAdjust
