Adding and multiplying images

The following example shows various ways of adding, subtracting, multiplying and dividing images. The given example uses 2D images but the functionality generalizes for 3D images.

Adding and multiplying images

First I make different two example images that have the same dimensions

   1 [someone@localhost] e2.py
   2 
   3 Welcome to EMAN2
   4 Prompt provided by IPython
   5 Enter '?' for ipython help
   6 
   7 In [3]:  A = test_image(0)
   8 
   9 In [4]:  B = test_image(1)

or try a = test_image_3d(2), a = test_image(0) etc - see the test image gallery.

Add/multiply/subtract/divide images and store the result in a new image

   1 In [5]: C = A + B # add two images, the result is stored in C
   2 
   3 In [6]: display(C) # observe C
   4 
   5 In [7]: C = A * B # multiply the two images component wise, the result is stored in C
   6 
   7 In [7]: C = A / B # division
   8 
   9 In [8]: C = A - B # subtraction

Add/multiply B and A, store result in A

   1 In [9]: A.add(B) # Add the pixels of A to the pixels of B - result stored in A
   2 
   3 In [10]: A.mult(B) # Multiple the pixels in a by the pixels of B - result stored in A

Subtract B from A and store it in A

   1 In [11]: C = B*-1 # multiply B by negative one, store it C
   2 
   3 In [12]: A.add(C) # equivalent to subtracting B from A
   4 
   5 In [13]: A.add(B*-1) # equivalent to line above
