Method Detail

calculateScore

double calculateScore(ImageEvent<?> e)
               throws ResourceException,
                      java.rmi.RemoteException

Calculates the focus score for the given image. The higher the score, the better the focus. The focus score must be larger or equal zero. The upper bound-if one exists-is implementation dependent. It can be assumed that the focus score is approximately continuous (except noise in imaging) for different focus values. Depending on the algorithm, there might exist more than one (local) maximum for different focus values.

Parameters:

e - The image which should be analyzed.

Returns:

The focus score of the image, given the algorithm of this addon.

Throws:

ResourceException

java.rmi.RemoteException
