The buffer data is read and converted into JPEG in real time. Each pixel in that buffer is an unsigned int (four bytes ): Alpha, Blue, Green, and Red. Let us ignore alpha for now. As you know, a unsigned byte can have a value 0 to 255. In remote sensing jargons, it is called blue channel, green channel, and red channel. Each channel provides valuable information such as, say farm lands, forest fire, drought, landscape, diseases , If a pixel has a value (say in hex) = 0x00a1b1c1 , then 0xc1 is the red pixel, 0xb1 is the green pixel, 0xa1 is the blue and 00 is the alpha. #define RED 1 #define GREEN 2 #define BLUE 3 then, develop a function void calculateSum ( unsigned int *ptr , int count , unsigned char channel , unsigned int *sum, float *average ) { *sum = 0; if (channel == RED ) calculate sum and average for red channel else if (channel == GREEN )…arrow_forward1.
