Mean Value of Image

This function block calculates and returns the mean pixel value of an input image. The mean value is an important statistical measure that provides a basic characterization of the overall intensity in the image.

📥 Inputs

Image Any The image data from which the mean value will be calculated.

📤 Outputs

Mean Value The output provides the mean pixel value of the input image, rounded to two decimal places.

🕹️ Controls

Mean Value Label Displays the current mean value of the image, updated whenever the input image changes.

🎨 Features

Simple Calculation Effortlessly computes the mean intensity value across all pixels in the image.

Live Feedback The displayed mean value updates dynamically as new image data is processed.

📝 Usage Instructions

1. Connect Input Image: Link the input socket to an image-producing function block.

2. Run the Block: Once connected, the block will automatically calculate the mean pixel value of the passing image.

3. View Mean Value: Check the displayed mean value in the Mean Value Label to assess the overall luminosity of the image.

📊 Evaluation

Upon evaluation, this block computes the mean pixel value from the provided image data and returns it for further analysis or processing.

💡 Tips and Tricks

Understanding Mean Value

A higher mean value indicates a brighter image, while a lower mean value signifies a darker image. This can help gauge the image's overall lighting condition.

Comparative Analysis

Use this function block in conjunction with other analysis blocks to compare the mean values of different images, helping to determine relative brightness or exposure between them.

🛠️ Troubleshooting

Invalid Image Input

If the image input is not recognized, ensure that the preceding function block is generating valid image data and is properly connected before this block.
