last modified: December 15, 2018
USAGE: median [-p processing] infile
-p ... processing ... processing of images; choices are: gray (convert PURPOSE: To compute the median value of an image. DESCRIPTION: MEDIAN computes the median value of an image. The median is that graylevel for which half the pixels in the image have larger values and half have smaller values. In other words, it is the graylevel that splits the histogram into two equal counts. The user may choose either to process the image to grayscale, to append all the channels into one grayscale image or process each channel separately. ARGUMENTS: -p processing ... PROCESSING of the images. The choices are: gray (convert to grayscale first), global (append all channels into one grayscale image) and all (process each channel separately). The default=gray. NOTE: This script will process only the first frame/page of a multiframe or multipage image. CAVEAT: No guarantee that this script will work on all platforms, nor that trapping of inconsistent parameters is complete and foolproof. Use At Your Own Risk. |
