AVL.ImageAverage

Computes the average of the image pixel values.

Namespace:AvlNet
Assembly:AVL.NET.dll

Syntax

C++
C#
 
public static void ImageAverage
(
	AvlNet.Image inImage,
	NullableRef<AvlNet.Region> inRoi,
	out AvlNet.Pixel outAverageColor,
	out float outAverageValue
)

Parameters

Name Type Range Default Description
inImageAvlNet.ImageInput image.
inRoiAvlNet.NullableRef<AvlNet.Region>Range of pixels to be processed. Default value: atl::NIL.
outAverageColorAvlNet.PixelAverage of each channel.
outAverageValuefloatAverage of the entire image.

Description

The function calculates average of pixel values in the inImage.

Average values of pixels calculated for each channel are returned in outAverageColor, while calculated for the region of interest - in outAverageValue. If region of interest isn't specified, average is calculated for the entire image.

Examples

In this single-channel image, average will be 127.5 for the channel and for the entire image (if the region of interested isn't specified).

In this three-channel RGB image, average will be 0 for R and G channels and 255 for the B channel. If we don't specify the region of interest, average of the image will be 85.0 (because arithmetic mean of 0, 0, and 255 is 85.0).

In this three-channel RGB image, average will be 63.75 for R and B channels and 127.5 for the G channel. If we don't specify the region of interest, average of the image will be 85.0 (because arithmetic mean of 63.75, 63.75 and 127.5 is 85.0).

Remarks

Minimal image size requirement

The input image shouldn't be empty.

Minimal region of interest size requirement

The input region of interest shouldn't be empty.

Hardware Acceleration

This operation supports automatic parallelization for multicore and multiprocessor systems.

Hardware acceleration settings may be manipulated with Settings class.

Errors

List of possible exceptions:

Error type Description
DomainError Empty image on input in ImageAverage.
