Arithmetic operation and logic operation of Video



1. Addition operation

dst(x,y) = saturate(src1(x,y)+src2(x,y))
  • It Add the pixel value that exists on same position between two videos and Set the pixel value of video.
  • If the value is more than 255, set the pixel value to 255.
cv2.add(src1, src2, dst=None, mask=None, dtype=None) -> dst
  • src1 : (input) first video or schalar
  • src2 : (input) second video or schalar
  • dst : (output) result video of addition operation
  • mask : mask video
  • dtype : type of output video


2. Weighted sum

dst(x,y) = saturate(a * src1(x,y) + b * src2(x,y))
  • Calculating weighted sum about pixel value which exist same position of two video and Setting the pixel value of result video.

  • Genarlly, spacifiy a + b = 1 (Maintaing normal birghtness of two input video)


3. Average operation

dst(x,y) = 1/2(src1(x,y) + src2(x,y))
  • Setting the weight with a = b = 0.5


Code of weighted sum

cv2.addWeighted(src1,alpha,src2,beta,gamma,dst=None,dtype=None) -> dst
  • src1 : Frist video
  • alpha : Weight of first video
  • src2 : Second video ( same type & same size with src1)
  • beta : Weight of second video
  • gamma : Additional added value to result value
  • dst : result vieo of weighted sum
  • dtype : type of output video(dst)


4. Subtraction operation

dst(x,y) = |src1(x,y) - src2(x,y)
  • It doesn’t be effected from order of input video


Code of subtracion operation

cv2.subtract(src1, src2, dst = None, mask = None, dtype = None ) -> dst
  • src1 : first video
  • src2 : second video
  • dst : result video of subtraction operation
  • mask : mask video
  • dtype : type of output video

5. Bit unit operation ( AND, OR. XOR, NOT)

cv2.bitwise_and(src1, src2, dst = None, mask = None) -> dst
cv2.bitwise_or(src1, src2, dst = None, mask = None) -> dst
cv2.bitwise_xor(src1, src2, dst = None, mask = None) -> dst
cv2.bitwise_not(src1, dst = None, mask = None) -> dst

  • src1 : first video
  • src2 : second video
  • dst : result video
  • mask : mask video
