Accumulate Weighted

ThexFaccumulateWeightedfunction computes the weighted sum of the input image (src1) and the accumulator image (src2) and generates the result in dst.



The accumulated result is a separate argument in the function, instead of having src2 as the accumulated result. In this implementation, having a bi-directional accumulator is not possible, as the function uses streams.

API Syntax

template void xFaccumulateWeighted ( xF::Mat src1, xF::Mat src2, xF::Mat dst, float alpha )

Parameter Descriptions

The following table describes the template and the function parameters.

NPC Number of pixels to be processed per cycle; possible options are XF_NPPC1 and XF_NPPC8 for 1 pixel and 8 pixel operations respectively.
src1 Input image
src2 Input image
dst Output image
alpha Weight applied to input image

Deviation fromOpenCV

The resultant image inOpenCVis stored in the second input image. The src2 image acts as input as well as output, as shown below:

Whereas, inxfOpenCVimplementation, the accumulated weighted image is stored separately.
