Description

The operator rank_nrank_nRankNrank_nRankNRankN returns pixel-by-pixel the result of the rank-function over all channels.

For every pixel in the input image the following is being done: The gray values of all channels at this position are sorted in ascending order. Then the pixel with index RankIndexRankIndexRankIndexRankIndexRankIndexrankIndex is selected and placed in the output image at the same position. The output image has one channel.

In the special cases RankIndexRankIndexRankIndexRankIndexRankIndexrankIndex = 1 and RankIndexRankIndexRankIndexRankIndexRankIndexrankIndex = '(Number of channels)'"(Number of channels)""(Number of channels)""(Number of channels)""(Number of channels)""(Number of channels)" the minimum and maximum are returned. RankIndexRankIndexRankIndexRankIndexRankIndexrankIndex = '(Number of channels + 1) / 2'"(Number of channels + 1) / 2""(Number of channels + 1) / 2""(Number of channels + 1) / 2""(Number of channels + 1) / 2""(Number of channels + 1) / 2" returns the median (here, / denotes integer division). Hence, for a five-channel image, 3 returns the median.

The operator rank_nrank_nRankNrank_nRankNRankN should not be confused with the operator rank_imagerank_imageRankImagerank_imageRankImageRankImage which computes the rank within a certain mask.
