OpenLIME

Class: LayerMaskedImage

LayerMaskedImage

LayerMaskedImage provides specialized handling for masked scalar images with bilinear interpolation. It implements custom texture sampling and masking operations through WebGL shaders.

Features:

  • Custom scalar image handling
  • Bilinear interpolation with masking
  • WebGL shader-based processing
  • Support for both WebGL 1 and 2
  • Nearest-neighbor texture filtering
  • Masked value visualization

Technical Details:

  • Uses LUMINANCE format for single-channel data
  • Implements custom bilinear sampling in shader
  • Handles mask values through alpha channel
  • Supports value rescaling (255.0/254.0 scale with -1.0/254.0 bias)
  • Uses custom texture parameters for proper sampling

Shader Implementation:

  • Performs bilinear interpolation in shader
  • Handles masked values (0 = masked)
  • Implements value rescaling
  • Provides visualization of masked areas (in red)
  • Uses texelFetch for precise sampling
