ENDS 375 Foundations of Visualization 9/20/05 Notes Visualization Laboratory, Texas A&M University
Image Statistics • Useful input into computational algorithms • measures of image quality • basis for automated decisions about images Visualization Laboratory, Texas A&M University
Image Statistics • Arithmetic Mean mean = sum(Pxy)/(x*y) • Variance variance = (sum(Pxy*Pxy)/(x*y)-mean*mean) Visualization Laboratory, Texas A&M University
Image Statistics • Standard Deviation stdev = square root (variance) • Histogram • two axis plot of pixel values vs number of pixels • basis for deciding - contrast range, overall brightness, thresholding, ... Visualization Laboratory, Texas A&M University
Point Operations on Images • Numeric Transformation • (often not reversible) • Transfer Functions • Often implemented using look-up tables Visualization Laboratory, Texas A&M University
Specific Operations Unity Invert Visualization Laboratory, Texas A&M University
Specific Operations Contrast Adjustment Higher Lower Visualization Laboratory, Texas A&M University
Specific Operations Threshold Gamma Visualization Laboratory, Texas A&M University
Color Modification Less Red More Yellow Visualization Laboratory, Texas A&M University
Arithmetic Operations Two or more images Cxy = Axy< operation > Bxy • Addition • Subtraction • Averaging, etc ... Visualization Laboratory, Texas A&M University
Logical Operations and, or nand, nor xor, xnor Visualization Laboratory, Texas A&M University
Image Averaging Add corresponding pixels from multiple images then divide by the number of images Visualization Laboratory, Texas A&M University
Alpha Blending Cxy = Axy*Mxy + Bxy*(max -Mxy ) “Blends” two images Need a “matte” image Basis for image compositing Visualization Laboratory, Texas A&M University
