Plate.LocalBackgroundMean(Short X, Short Y) Property

Plate.LocalBackgroundMean(Short X, Short Y) (read-only, Double)

[advanced] The statistical mean background level in the local area of the image where the pixel at the given coordinates is located.

Syntax

Plate.LocalBackgroundMean(Short X, Short Y)

The property syntax has these parts:

Part	Description
Value (Double)	[advanced] The statistical mean background level in the local area of the image where the pixel at the given coordinates is located.

Remarks

This is the local mean of the background, as computed by PinPoint's tiling system. For more information see the Plate.BackgroundTileSize property.

While PinPoint can attach images in a variety of pixel and image formats including 1-shot color, its internal image storage format is monochrome 16-bit unsigned integer. Monochrome (1-plane) images are scaled to the range 0-65535. Color images are converted on attaching to monochrome 16-bit color. Thus the LocalBackgroundMean property always returns a value between 0 and 65535.
