To accomplish this, we will need to take advantage of the IDM by initializing the input and output streams. At the start ofthe function, two instantiations of a new structure dstr_t are declared. You can view the structure contents of dstr_t on p. 2-11 of the IDK Programmer's Guide . The structure contents are defined with calls to dstr_open() . This data flow for the pre-scale is shown in data flow .

Data flow of input and output streams.

To give you a better understanding of how these streams are created, let's analyze the parameters passed in the first callto dstr_open() :

External address: in_image->data

This is a pointer to the place in memory serving as the source of our input data (it's the source because the lastfunction parameter is set to DSTR_INPUT ).

External size: (rows + num_lines) * cols = (240 + 2) * 640

This is the total size of our input data. We will only be taking every other line from in_image->data , so only 240 rows. The extra two rows are for buffer.

Internal address: int_mem

This is a pointer to an 8x640 lexographic array, specifically scratchpad->int_data . This is where we will be putting the data on each call to dstr_get() .

Internal size: 2 * num_lines * cols = 2 * 2 * 640

The size of space available for data to be input into int_mem from in_image->data . Because double buffering is used, num_lines is set to 2.

Number of bytes/line: cols = 640, number of lines: num_lines = 2

Each time dstr_get() is called, it will return a pointer to 2 lines of data, 640 bytes inlength.

External memory increment/line: stride*cols = 1*640

Left as an exercise.

Window size: 1 for double buffered

The need for the window size is not really apparent here. It will become apparent when we do the 3x3 blockconvolution. Then, the window size will be set to 3. This tells the IDM to send a pointer to 3 lines of data when dstr_get() is called, but only increment the stream's internal pointer by 1 (instead of 3) the next time dstr_get() is called. This is not a parameter when setting up an output stream.

Direction of input: dstr_input

Sets the direction of data flow. If it had been set to DSTR_OUTPUT (as done in the next call to dstr_open() ), we would be setting the data to flow from the Internal Address to the External Address.

Once our data streams are setup, we can begin processing by calling the component function pre_scale() (in pre_scale.c ) to operate on one block of data at a time. This function will perform the horizontal scaling byaveraging every two pixels. This algorithm operates on four pixels at a time. The entire function is iterated within pre_scale_image() 120 times, which is the number of rows in each quadrant. Before pre_scale_image() exits, the data streams are closed, and one line is added to the top and bottom of theimage to provide context necessary for the next processing steps. Now that the input image has been scaled to a quarterof its initial size, we will proceed with the four image processing algorithms. In img_proc.c , the set_ptr() function is called to set the variable out_ptr to point to the correct quadrant on the 640x480 output image. Then copy_image() , copy_image.c , is called, performing a direct copy of the scaled input image into the lower right quadrant of theoutput.

what are pathogens
Don Reply
In biology, a pathogen (Greek: πάθος pathos "suffering", "passion" and -γενής -genēs "producer of") in the oldest and broadest sense, is anything that can produce disease. A pathogen may also be referred to as an infectious agent, or simply a germ. The term pathogen came into use in the 1880s.[1][2
