                                             gint kernel_height);

Calculates a correlation score in one point.

Correlation window size is given by kernel_col, kernel_row, kernel_width, kernel_height, postion of the correlation window on data is given by col, row.

If anything fails (data too close to boundary, etc.), function returns -1.0 (none correlation)..

data_field : A data field.
kernel_field : Kernel to correlate data field with.
col : Upper-left column position in the data field.
row : Upper-left row position in the data field.
kernel_col : Upper-left column position in kernel field.
kernel_row : Upper-left row position in kernel field.
kernel_width : Width of kernel field area.
kernel_height : Heigh of kernel field area.
Returns : Correlation score (between -1.0 and 1.0). Value 1.0 denotes maximum correlation, -1.0 none correlation.

It does not use any special features for matching. It simply searches for all points (with their neighbourhood) of data_field1 within data_field2. Parameters search_width and search_height determine maimum area where to search for points. The area is cenetered in the data_field2 at former position of points at data_field1.

data_field2 : A data field.
x_dist : A data field to store x-distances to.
y_dist : A data field to store y-distances to.
score : Data field to store correlation scores to.
search_width : Search area width.
search_height : Search area height.
window_width : Correlation window width.
window_height : Correlation window height.

Performs one iteration of cross-correlation.

Cross-correlation matches two different images of the same object under changes.

It does not use any special features for matching. It simply searches for all points (with their neighbourhood) of data_field1 within data_field2. Parameters search_width and search_height determine maimum area where to search for points. The area is cenetered in the data_field2 at former position of points at data_field1.

A cross-correlation iterator can be created with gwy_data_field_crosscorrelate_init(). When iteration ends, either by finishing or being aborted, gwy_data_field_crosscorrelate_finalize() must be called to release allocated resources.

state : Cross-correlation iterator.
