image = skewness2dImg (inImg,inHalfKnlSizeX,inHalfKnlSizeY)

Detailed Description

local 2d image skewness computation

This algorithm computes for each pixel of output image associated local skewness on a rectangular neighbourhood of input image.

Given an input image $InImg$ and rectangular kernel half sizes $N_x = InHalfKnlSizeX$ and $N_y = InHalfKnlSizeY$ , output image values are given by :

$OutImg[x, y] = \dfrac{\sum_{o_{y}=-N_y}^{N_y}{\sum_{o_{x}=N_x}^{N_x}{(InImg[x, y]-\bar{M}[x, y])^3}}}{[\sum_{o_{y}=-N_y}^{N_y}{\sum_{o_{x}=N_x}^{N_x}{(InImg[x, y]-\bar{M}[x, y])^2}}]^{\frac{3}{2}}}$

where

$\bar{M}[x, y] = \dfrac{1}{(2 N_y + 1)(2 N_x + 1)}\sum_{o_{y}=-N_y}^{N_y}{\sum_{o_{x}=N_x}^{N_x}{InImg[x, y]}}$

Here is an example of a Skewness computation applied on a 8 bits grey level image with $InHalfKnlSizeX = InHalfKnlSizeY = 2$ :

Example of Python code :

Example imports

import PyIPSDK

import PyIPSDK.IPSDKIPLStats as stats

Code Example

    # opening of input image
    inImg = PyIPSDK.loadTiffImageFile(inputImgPath)
    
    # skewness 2d image computation
    outImg = stats.skewness2dImg(inImg, 3, 3)
