What does normalize function do when used with "NORM_MINMAX" ?

I referred the opnecv documentation here; but there is no description of of how exactly the image is normalized when used with this flag. I am trying to use this kind of scaling to make a laplace transformed image to look like the output of matlab.

What do you mean? The docu says: "or so that min(dist) = alpha and max(dist) = beta when normType=NORM_MINMAX (for dense arrays only)"

As it only scales and shifts, the transformation should be (if a and b are you lower and upper bound in the input)

dst = (x-a)/(b-a)*(beta-alpha) + alpha

(but that should be easy to verify in the code)

// the code is here: https://github.com/Itseez/opencv/blob...

I see a completely plane gray image if try to normalize my image between 0 and 255.

And how does your image look like?
