Allocate a registration result buffer.

Syntax

AIL_ID MregAllocResult(
AIL_ID SystemId, //in
AIL_INT64 ControlFlag, //in
AIL_ID * ResultIdPtr //out
)

Description

This function allocates a registration result buffer, on the specified system, to store results obtained from an MregCalculate operation.

When the registration result buffer is no longer required, release it usingMregFreeunless M_UNIQUE_ID was specified during allocation; if M_UNIQUE_ID was specified, the smart identifier manages the registration result buffer's lifetime and you must not manually free it.

Parameters

SystemId (in, AIL_ID)

Specifies the system on which to allocate the result buffer. This parameter should be set to one of the following values:

For specifying the system

ValueDescription
M_DEFAULT_HOSTSpecifies the default Host system of the current Aurora Imaging Library application.
System identifierSpecifies a valid system identifier, previously allocated using MsysAlloc.

ControlFlag (in, AIL_INT64)

Specifies the type of result buffer to allocate. This parameter should be set to one of the following values.

For specifying the type of result buffer

ValueDescription
M_DEFAULT
M_DEPTH_FROM_FOCUS_RESULTSpecifies that the result buffer can hold results from a depth-from-focus operation.
M_EXTENDED_DEPTH_OF_FIELD_RESULTSpecifies that the result buffer can hold results from an extended depth of field (EDoF) operation.
M_HIGH_DYNAMIC_RANGE_RESULTSpecifies that the result buffer can hold results from a high dynamic range operation.
M_PHOTOMETRIC_STEREO_RESULTSpecifies that the result buffer can hold results from a photometric stereo operation.
M_STITCHING_RESULT (default)Specifies that the result buffer can hold results from a correlation-stitching registration operation.

ResultIdPtr *(out, AIL_ID)

Specifies the address of the variable in which to write the registration result buffer identifier or specifies the data type that the function should use to return the registration result buffer identifier.

For retrieving the identifier or specifying how to return it

ValueDescription
M_NULLSpecifies that you will use this function's return value to obtain the identifier of the allocated registration result
                          buffer; in this case, a standard Aurora Imaging Library identifier of type _AIL_ID_ is returned. |

| M_UNIQUE_ID | Specifies that you will use this function's return value to obtain the identifier of the allocated registration result buffer; in this case, an Aurora Imaging Library smart identifier of type _AIL_UNIQUE_REG_ID_is returned instead of a standard Aurora Imaging Library identifier.This setting is only available when using C++11 (or later).An Aurora Imaging Library smart identifier manages the lifespan of the Aurora Imaging Library object it owns (similar to a std::unique_ptr). Note, you can use an Aurora Imaging Library smart identifier as though it were a standard Aurora Imaging Library identifier, except that you cannot use it to manually free the registration result buffer (it is freed automatically). For more information, see Aurora Imaging Library smart identifiers. | | Address in which to write the DFF result buffer identifier | Specifies the address of an AIL_ID in which to write the identifier of the allocated DFF result buffer.

If allocation fails, M_NULL is written as the identifier. | | Address in which to write the EDOF result buffer identifier | Specifies the address of an AIL_ID in which to write the identifier of the allocated EDOF result buffer.

If allocation fails, M_NULL is written as the identifier. | | Address in which to write the HDR result buffer identifier | Specifies the address of an AIL_ID in which to write the identifier of the allocated HDR result buffer.

If allocation fails, M_NULL is written as the identifier. | | Address in which to write the photometric stereo result buffer identifier | Specifies the address of an AIL_ID in which to write the identifier of the allocated photometric stereo result buffer.

If allocation fails, M_NULL is written as the identifier. | | Address in which to write the stitching result buffer identifier | Specifies the address of an AIL_ID in which to write the identifier of the allocated stitching result buffer.

If allocation fails, M_NULL is written as the identifier. |

Return Value

Type: AIL_ID

The returned value is the registration result buffer identifier either as a standard identifier (AIL_ID) or a smart identifier (AIL_UNIQUE_REG_ID). If allocation fails, M_NULL is returned (or nullptr ifM_UNIQUE_ID was specified).
