Module: Mean

Description:

Averages the image. For each pixel, finds the average intensity in its neighbourhood.

The left image has had 10 passes of averaging with 26-connectivity (equivalent to averaging in a 12x12x12 neighbourhood), resulting in the right image.

Connections:

Image

[required]
From this port, the input image is retrieved. For now, the only input type that has been implemented is HxUniformScalarField3.

Ports:

Passes

Specifies the number of times the process is run.

Connectivity

Choice of the neighbourhood.

Illustration of the different connectivities. (a): 6-, (b): 18-, and (c): 26-connectivity (in case you didn't figure it out, n-connectivity means n pixels in the neighbourhood).

Mean

Push the first button to average the input. Push the second button to average the output.

Commands:

Additional options can be accessed when typing in the console Mean COMMAND_NAME. Typing the command again usually reverts back to original settings.

`verbose`

Displays timing information after the computation. Retype to hide info.

`create`

Runs the computation. Returns the name of the output, so it can be used in a script, such as set RESULT [Mean create].
