Image Statistics Values DIP1

The document discusses key metrics for analyzing histograms: 1) The mean value provides the average gray level or overall brightness of an image. 2) The variance is a measure of how pixel values are distributed around the mean, while the standard deviation shows the average distance of pixels from the mean. A higher variance or standard deviation indicates higher contrast in the image. These metrics help characterize an image's tonal distribution and contrast.

Histograms

1.The MEAN VALUE (or average gray level)

M = Σ g h(g)
g

1*0.3+2*0.1+3*0.2+4*0.1+5*0.2+6*0.1=
0.3
0.2 2.6
0.1
0.0

Histograms

The MEAN value is the average gray


value of the image, the ‘overall
brightness appearance’.

2. The VARIANCE

V = Σ (g-M)2 h(g)
g

(with M = mean)
or similar:

The STANDARD DEVIATION


D = sqrt(V)
Histograms

VARIANCE gives a measure about the


distribution of the histogram values
around the mean.

0.3 0.3
0.2 0.2
0.1 0.1
0.0 0.0

V1 > V2
Histograms

The STANDARD DEVIATION is a value


on the gray level axis, showing the
average distance of all pixels to the
mean

0.3 0.3
0.2 0.2
0.1 0.1
0.0 0.0

D1 > D2
Histograms

VARIANCE and STANDARD DEVIATION


of the histogram tell us about the
average contrast of the image !

The higher the VARIANCE (=the higher


the STANDARD DEVIATION), the
higher the image’s contrast !
Histograms
