DETERMINING THE AVERAGE COLOR OF AN IMAGE USING C++ AND OpenCV

Abstract

This article presents a method for determining the average color of an image using the C++ programming language and the OpenCV library. A digital image is represented as a pixel matrix, where each pixel consists of RGB values. The average color is calculated by averaging all pixel values of the image. The proposed approach is simple and computationally efficient, making it suitable for applications in computer vision, image processing, robotics, and intelligent systems. The paper provides the theoretical background, a sample C++ program, and an analysis of experimental results.
