Description
The operation finds region of pixels being local ridges on the image inImage within specific region inRoi. For a pixel to be deemed a ridge pixel it is necessary to be stronger than both its neighbor pixels in at least one from four main directions (horizontal, vertical and two diagonals) by at least inNoiseLevel. Furthermore, the pixel value must be between inMinValue and inMaxValue.
Hardware Acceleration
This operation supports automatic parallelization for multicore and multiprocessor systems.
