Avarage Color

[dexto]

Just an idea that you can work on if you like it:
Function that calculates and return average for Red Green and Blue separately. This function would have a lot of uses anything from searching solid color (combined with PixelSearch) to specific motion detect, Flash macro, picture tone finder and so on...

caan you post or PM what an algorithm that you yhink will implement what you think about.
Thanks ;)

I think it will have same (opimised) pixel capturing algorithm as PixelSearch since i dono what it is its hard to speculate on how they will be processed.

General idea (low memory use high CPU use):
-Keep tack of how may pixels where processed.
-While calculating R B G for first 2 pixels store it in R G and B temp long double
-With a third pixel calculate R G B and divide it by the number of pixels already processed (to average it correctly later on) add that value to temp R G and B and divide by number of pixels proceed divided by 2.
-(Formula: ([current average]+[current pix]/[number of pixels processed+1])/([number of pixels processed+1]/2)
-Move on to the next pixel.

Another idea (high memory use low CPU):
-Calculate R G B store it in array
-Calculate average of every two pixels store it in array (destroy previous array)
-Calculate average of every two pixels in the new reduced array.
-and so on until only one pair left.

Can you think of a better one? ;)

This seems like the kind of thing best implemented in a plugin or standard DLL.
