ReplacePixelValue

ReplacePixelValue[image,pposval]

changes the pixel values at pixel position ppos in image to val.

ReplacePixelValue[image,pposval,"type"]

assumes val to be of the specified type.

Details

  • ReplacePixelValue is typically used for image correction or annotation of 2D and 3D images by replacing pixel values at selected positions.
  • ReplacePixelValue assumes a pixel-aligned coordinate system that is shifted by 0.5 to the left and down with respect to the standard image coordinate system.
  • In ReplacePixelValue, integer coordinates correspond to the centers of the pixels. In 2D, pixel position represents the center of the bottom-left pixel. In 3D, pixel position corresponds to the center of the bottom-left front pixel.
  • Pixel positions ppos can be in one of the following forms:
  • {x,y} or {x,y,z}single position in 2D or 3D
    {xmin;;xmax,…}span of positions
    {xmin;;xmax;;xstep,…}span of positions with steps
    {pos1,pos2,…}a list of position specifications
    markerimagea marker image
  • ReplacePixelValue[image,{ppos1->val1,…}] can be used to set pixel values for multiple positions.
  • When the pixel position ppos lies on a boundary between pixels, all adjacent pixels are modified.
  • Pixel value val can be in one of the following forms:
  • sa scalar
    colora color
    {s1,s2,…}a list of channel values
  • Possible settings for "type" include:
  • "Bit"integer 0 or 1
    "Byte"integer 0 through 255
    "Bit16"integer 0 through 65535
    "Real32"single-precision real (32 bit)
    "Real64"double-precision real (64 bit)
  • ReplacePixelValue typically gives an image that has the same type as image.

Properties & Relations  (3)

Any position within the bounds of a pixel may be used:

When the specified coordinate falls between pixels, all surrounding pixels are modified:

If a position outside of the image bounds is specified, no pixel is modified:
