Detailed Description

A class for calculating local variance.

The variance for a pixel is defined to be the variance of the surrounding pixels, i.e. C=1/N*sum_i=1..N((p_i-m)²), where N is the number of circular neighbors for a pixel, p_i is the ith circular neighbor, and m is the mean value of the neighborhood, i.e. m=1/N*sum_i=1..N(p_i).

Public Methods
	Variance (unsigned int samples=8, int predicate=1, bool interpolate=true)
double	getValue (double center, List< double > &surrounding)
	Subclasses must implement this method to return a transformed value for a center pixel given a known circular neighborhood.

Member Function Documentation

double prapi::texture::Variance::getValue (  double    center, List< double > &    surrounding )  [inline, virtual]

Subclasses must implement this method to return a transformed value for a center pixel given a known circular neighborhood. The default implementation returns 0. This method is called for each pixel in an matrix from getTransformedImage(Matrix<U>&). For example, the local variance operator returns the variance of the values in surrounding. LBP, in turn, compares each value in surrounding to the value of the center pixel, and builds up a binary code that it then returns. Parameters: center  the value of the current center pixel surrounding  the values of the surrounding pixels starting from horizontal x-axis direction (3 o'clock) and proceeding clockwise. The length of this list is equal to the number of samples set with the setSamples() method. Returns: a transformed value for the center pixel. Reimplemented from prapi::texture::CircularLocalSampler< double, double >.
