Hello All,

I am writing an image processing application in C# that needs to be speed optimized for faster performance.

I have been told that using Unsafe Code together with Pointers can speed my algorithm up significantly. Unfortunately, I have no experience with Pointers at all.

How can I make the following example code work with Pointers? (The example multiplies a 640 x 480 pixel image's pixel values by 2, and copies those new values into another 640 x 480 image)

Example:

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

double[,] Redmap = new double[640, 480];
double[,] Greenmap = new double[640, 480];
double[,] Bluemap = new double[640, 480];


double[,] Redmap2 = new double[640, 480];
double[,] Greenmap2 = new double[640, 480];
double[,] Bluemap2 = new double[640, 480];



for (int y = 0; y < 480; y++)
{

for (int x = 0; x < 640; x++)
{

Redmap2[x, y] = Redmap[x, y] * 2;

Greenmap2[x, y] = Greenmap[x, y] * 2;

Bluemap2[x, y] = Bluemap[x, y] * 2;

}
}



xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Thanks in advance for any help provided!
