Detailed Description

This class compares two images pixel-by-pixel. It uses the following methods to ignore the difference between images:

Border filter ignores a difference in implementation of anti-aliasing and other effects on boundary of a shape. The triangles of a boundary zone are usually located so that their normals point aside the user (about 90 degree between the normal and the direction to the user's eye). Deflection of the light for such a triangle depends on implementation of the video driver. In order to skip this difference the following algorithm is used: a) "Different" pixels are groupped and checked on "one-pixel width line". indeed, the pixels may represent not a line, but any curve. But the width of this curve should be not more than a pixel. This group of pixels become a candidate to be ignored because of boundary effect. b) The group of pixels is checked on belonging to a "shape". Neighbour pixels are checked from the reference image. This test confirms a fact that the group of pixels belongs to a shape and represent a boundary of the shape. In this case the whole group of pixels is ignored (considered as same). Otherwise, the group of pixels may represent a geometrical curve in the viewer 3D and should be considered as "different".

void Image_Diff::SetBorderFilterOn ( const Standard_Boolean  theToIgnore)

Sets taking into account (ignoring) a "border effect" on comparison of images. The border effect is caused by a border of shaded shapes in the viewer 3d. Triangles of this area are located at about 0 or 90 degrees to the user. Therefore, they deflect light differently according to implementation of a video card driver. This flag allows to detect such a "border" area and skip it from comparison of images. Filter turned OFF by default.
