bit_mask ( Image : ImageMask : BitMask : )

Logical ``AND'' of each pixel using a bit mask.

The operator bit_mask carries out an ``and'' operation of each pixel with a fixed mask. The semantics of the ``and'' operation corresponds to that of C for the respective types (signed char, unsigned char, unsigned short, short, int/long). Only the pixels within the definition range of the image are processed.

Several images can be processed in one call. An output image is generated for every input image.


Parameters

Image (input_object)
(multichannel-)image(-array) -> object : byte / direction / cyclic / int1 / int2 / uint2 / int4
Input image(s).

ImageMask (output_object)
(multichannel-)image(-array) -> object : byte / direction / cyclic / int1 / int2 / uint2 / int4
Result image(s) by combination with mask.

BitMask (input_control)
integer -> integer
Bit field
Default value: 128
List of values: 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, 512, 1024, 2048, 4096
Suggested values: 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, 512, 1024, 2048, 4096


Result

If the images are correct (type) the operator bit_mask returns the value 2 (H_MSG_TRUE). The behavior in case of empty input (no input images available) is set via the operator set_system(::'no_object_result',<Result>:) If necessary an exception handling is raised.


Parallelization Information

bit_mask is reentrant and automatically parallelized (on tuple level, channel level, domain level).


Possible Successors

threshold, bit_or
