Compares two pixels using chromatic and non-chromatic information. Assumes RGB-like color space.
Name | Type | Range | Description | |
---|---|---|---|---|
inPixelA | Pixel | |||
inPixelB | Pixel | |||
inChromaAmount | Real | 0.0 - 1.0 | Proportion of chromatic information in distance computation | |
outDistance | Real |
Applications
Color comparison insensitive to changes of illumination.
Description
The operation computes the distance between two pixels.
The distance between pixels is computed using two measures:
- Value distance - the difference between average channel values
- Chromatic distance - euclidean distance between pixels normalized to the same value level
The resulting distance is computed as a weighted average of these two values, parameter inChromaAmount ( 0.0 - 1.0 ) being the weight of the chromatic distance, and 1 - inChromaAmount being the weight of the value distance.
