What is Maximum Value Profile in an image?

After reconstructing an image, it is mentioned (in a paper) that Maximum Value Profile of that image is shown. What is that? How to do it?

Answer 1

MVP = max(Your2DImage);

Now MVP is a row vector which contains the maximum value from each column. You can also use max(Your2DImage, 2) to work along rows.

MVP must give image o/p.

[Walter Roberson]

No, that phrase does not occur in that paper.

The specific line from that paper as follows:

"Figure 2 shows the maximum value profile of the reconstructed image."

What do they mean by this? Figure 2 is also an image. I have a reconstructed image. How to show the MVP of the image?

Not in the copy I am looking at. Are you sure you are looking at the right paper?

What paper?

Pls check your mail.

When I look at the paper, they are not applying Maximum Value Profile to an image, they are applying it to a 3D set of data. In such a case, the Maximum Value Profile is max() along some particular axes.
