pyorc.Frames.normalize

Frames.normalize(samples=15)

Remove the temporal mean of sampled frames.

This is typically used to remove non-moving background from foreground, and helps to increase contrast when river bottoms are visible, or when the objective contains partly illuminated and partly shaded parts.

Parameters:

samples (int, optional) – amount of samples to retrieve from frames for estimating standard deviation and mean. Set to a lower number to speed up calculation, default: 15 (which is normally sufficient and fast enough).

Returns:

normalized frames

Return type:

xr.DataArray
