ImageValue

ImageValue
gives the pixel value of image at position .
ImageValue
gives the pixel value converted to the specified type.
MORE INFORMATION
  • ImageValue assumes the standard image coordinate system where x runs from to width and y runs from to height. Position corresponds to the bottom-left corner of the image.
  • Use PixelValue to use integer indices for extracting exact pixel values of the image.
  • ImageValue can be used to get pixel values for multiple positions.
  • ImageValue by default returns values between 0 and 1. Using ImageValue, a pixel value is returned in the range specified by . See the reference page for Image for a list of all possible data types.

{{xmin,xmax},{ymin,ymax}}values in the specified intervals for x and y
  • ImageValue can take a Padding option, which is used when a specified position is beyond an image.
