Overview

This example VI shows how to average different images.

 

Description

This program will allow you to average 32-bit color images.

 

How it works: By breaking images down into 8-bit planes, and averaging each plane, the program quantifies the 32-bit color image on a linear scale. Once each plane has been averaged, it then recombines them all into one averaged color image.

 

Use Cases: This can be used for approximating what happens over a long acquisition period without worrying about external conditions violently ruining data.
