Calculate Background

Group (Subgroup)

ZeissImport (ZeissImport)

Description

This filter takes a series of grayscale images in a given attribute matrix and averages them. The image content only contributes to the average if the value at a given pixel is between the lowest and highest allowed image value set by the user. The background is then fit to a second-order polynomial, and the resulting fit background is calculated and stored in a new array.

If the user selects Subtract Background from Current Images, the background will be subtracted, and the new images will overwrite the original images in the attribute matrix.

Parameters
