mean_nmean_nMeanNMeanN (Operator)

Name

mean_nmean_nMeanNMeanN — Average gray values over several channels.

Signature

mean_n(Image : ImageMean : : )

Herror mean_n(const Hobject Image, Hobject* ImageMean)

Herror T_mean_n(const Hobject Image, Hobject* ImageMean)

void MeanN(const HObject& Image, HObject* ImageMean)

HImage HImage::MeanN() const

static void HOperatorSet.MeanN(HObject image, out HObject imageMean)

HImage HImage.MeanN()

Description

The operator mean_nmean_nMeanNMeanNMeanN generates the pixel-by-pixel mean value of all channels . For each coordinate point the sum of all gray values at this coordinate is calculated. The result is the mean of the gray values (sum divided by the number of channels). The output image has one channel.

For an explanation of the concept of smoothing filters see the introduction of chapter Filters / Smoothing.

Attention

This operator may return unexpected results if an image with a reduced domain is used as input. Please refer to the chapter Filters.
