Now as you can see from the graph above, that the first value of PMF remain as it is. Here is the CDF of the above PMF function. We will simply keep the first value as it is, and then in the 2nd value, we will add the first one and so on. Since this histogram is not increasing monotonically, so will make it grow monotonically. Consider the histogram shown above which shows PMF. It is a function that calculates the cumulative sum of all the values that are calculated by PMF. What is CDF?ĬDF stands for cumulative distributive function. So in order to increase it monotonically, we will calculate its CDF. So the PMF of the above histogram is this.Īnother important thing to note in the above histogram is that it is not monotonically increasing. Now if we have to calculate its PMF, we will simple look at the count of each bar from vertical axis and then divide it by total count. The above histogram shows frequency of gray level values for an 8 bits per pixel image. Note that the sum of the count must be equal to total number of values. After count they can either be represented in a histogram, or in a table like this below. Now if we were to calculate the PMF of this matrix, here how we are going to do it.Īt first, we will take the first value in the matrix, and then we will count, how much time this value appears in the whole matrix. Then we will take another example in which we will calculate PMF from the histogram. First from a matrix, because in the next tutorial, we have to calculate the PMF from a matrix, and an image is nothing more then a two dimensional matrix. We will calculate PMF from two different ways. As it name suggest, it gives the probability of each number in the data set or you can say that it basically gives the count or frequency of each element. PMF stands for probability mass function.
PMF TABLE TOOL HOW TO
So if you dont know how to calculate PMF and CDF, you can not apply histogram equalization on your image. It is because these two concepts of PMF and CDF are going to be used in the next tutorial of Histogram equalization. Now the question that should arise in your mind, is that why are we studying probability. PMF and CDF both terms belongs to probability and statistics.
