Re: PCA - What next!?

No! Average values cannot be negative.
There is some problem with your code. I didnt experience a negative
value..

In order to display the image, you have to normalize the pixel values
between 0 and 255, and then store it in a 8 bit image.
Only 8 bit images can be displayed correctly in the Highgui window, i
suppose..

that means values of pixels are between 0..255. So the mean of
positive values should be positive! why do we find negative values for
"avg"? is there any explanation?
