Mean and Standard Deviation

ThexFMeanStddevfunction computes the mean and standard deviation of input image. The output Mean value is in fixed point Q8.8 format, and the Standard Deviation value is in Q8.8 format. Mean and standard deviation are calculated as follows:





API Syntax

template void xFmeanstd(xF::Mat & _src,unsigned short* _mean,unsigned short* _stddev)

Parameter Descriptions

The following table describes the template and the function parameters.

Table 1.xFmeanstd Function Parameter Descriptions
Parameter Description
SRC_T Input pixel type. 8-bit, unsigned, 1 channel (XF_8UC1) is supported.
ROWS Number of rows in the image being processed.
COLS Number of columns in the image being processed.
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.
_src Input image
_mean 16-bit data pointer through which the computed mean of the image is returned.
_stddev 16-bit data pointer through which the computed standard deviation of the image is returned.
