I don't know if there is any well defined method. But it seems
you should measure some properties of the distribution of
in your image. I suggest the following measures:
* Median absolute deviation (of image converted to black and white)
as a measure for contrast. Alternatively use the normal standard
* Median as a measure of luminance.
* You could also check the skewness which may give some clues to
If saturated pixels is a common problem then you can try to make an
estimate of how many percent is affected by saturation and trim the
upper and lower x percentiles before analysis. You should keep the
constant though (or the measures wont be comparable between
Is there a way in matlab to compute for this media standard deviation?
