Description

This notebook rebin an image or set of images. You have the option of defining the way the pixels are grouped. For example, if you select a rebin value of 2, pixels will be grouped 2 by 2 (see next two illustrations) and those pixels will be averaged.

In the following example, we start with an image of 8 by 8 pixels. Each box contains the number of counts for that pixel.

In the case where the width and/or height of the image can not be evenly divided by the rebin coefficient, the last uncompleted bin is removed from the final image.
