NAME

average - computes the average of several bands in aninput image

SYNTAX

average [<option>] <inimage> [<inimage>...] <outimage>

DESCRIPTION

Computes the average image of two or several bands of oneor more images. Grey levels of the output average image will bemultiplied by a scale factor.

(inimage[1]+inimage[2]+........+inimage[n])/n * scale

The output image will be of pixeltype double.

The size of the output image depends on the options -maxand -min(see below)

OPTIONS

-scale factor

Scale factor in calculation. Default: 1.0.

-max

Size of the output image = N x M where N and M are
N=MAX(Ixsize(inimage[1]),...,Ixsize(inimage[n]))
M=MAX(Iysize(inimage[1]),...,Iysize(inimage[n]))

In this case, if the output image size is larger thanan input image band, then zeros will be added to the rest ofthe output image.

-min

Size of the output image = N x M where N and M are
N=MIN(Ixsize(inimage[1]),...,Ixsize(inimage[n]))
M=MIN(Iysize(inimage[1]),...,Iysize(inimage[n]))

In this case, all the pixels having co-ordinates(x,y), where x > N and y > M, will not be considered inthe calculation.

RESTRICTIONS

Input bands should not have pixels of type "complex".

RETURN VALUE

0 => OK
1 => Illegal number of arguments
2 => Can't find input image
3 => Only one band in input image
4 => Error in calculation of average value
