[Tutor] [tutor] Finding image statistics

[Varsha Purohit]

Hello All,
        I had posted this question in this community. I have a trouble.
Actually in my application i need to multiply the resultant value i am
getting with a cellsize. I am getting this cellsize by reading an ascii
file's header. But when i am trying to multiply it with the result of
imagestat i am getting an error.

this is my code.

def ImageStatistics(file1,file2,inFile):

    # find the pixels that are different in two images
    diff = ImageChops.difference(file1,file2)
    #shows the resultant image
    diff.show()
    #convert the different pixels into grayscale so that they are counted
once for each pixel
    diff = ImageOps.grayscale(diff)

 # read the ascii file
    hdr = read_ascii.header(inFile)
    temp= hdr[4].strip().split() # temp is a list which is ['cellsize',
'127']
    cellsize = temp[1]

    def clip(x):
        if x>=1:
            return 1
        else:
            return 0
        # apply the clipping function to eval
    diff = Image.eval(diff,clip)


    #return the resultant area
    val = ImageStat.Stat(diff).sum
    area = val * cellsize
    print "area is ",area
    return area

i am getting an error that i cannot combine imagestat with cellsize and i
cannot multiply it like that. But in my application i need to multiply
cellsize with the value i am getting in the image.eval....

i tried to multiply cellsize with 1 in the clip function where i am writing
return 1*cellsize.

but even it is not working .... can anyone tell me what i am doing wrong
here ???
