I was searching for standard deviation calculation using opencv that I found this:

http://answers.opencv.org/question/6501/problem-with-meanstddev/

I can not underestand what do these two lines mean:

uchar       mean_pxl = mean.val[0];
uchar       stddev_pxl = stddev.val[0];

what would be the output of mean.val[0] and stddev.val[0] ?

Thanks in advance..

The first one (mean.val[0]) is the average values while the second one (stddev.val[0]) is the standard deviation of all elements of one Mat object, but both of them are converted to unsigned char values (in the range [0..255]).

Thanks for the answer...One more thing: Type of the input is CV_32FC1, should I still use uchar?

It is depend on your purpose: if it is used for statistics, it should be float but in other cases, may be uchar is enough.
