# Maximum Images This function block creates a new image by taking the maximum value for each pixel from two input images. Useful for combining images where you want the brightest or strongest response at each pixel. ## đŸ“Ĩ Inputs `Image Any` First input image to compare. `Image Any` Second input image to compare. ## 📤 Outputs `Image Any` Resulting image where each pixel is the maximum of the two inputs. ## 🕹ī¸ Controls This function block has no interactive controls. ## 🎨 Features * Pixel-wise maximum merge of two images. * Preserves per-channel pixel values (works with multi-channel images). * Fast operation suitable for combining detection overlays, masks, or image enhancements. ## 📝 Usage Instructions 1. Connect two image-producing blocks to the two `Image Any` inputs. 2. Run the scenario; the block outputs a single image where each pixel is the maximum of the corresponding pixels from the inputs. 3. Use the output image for visualization, further processing, or export. ## 📊 Evaluation When evaluated, this block compares the two input images pixel-by-pixel and returns the merged image containing the maximum pixel values. ## 💡 Tips and Tricks * If the two images have different dimensions, use `Image Resize` or `Image Resizer` before this block to match sizes. * To combine results then visualize them, follow this block with `Show Image`. * For the opposite effect (minimum values), use the `Minimum Images` block. * Use `Apply Mask` beforehand to limit merging to specific regions of interest. * When assembling multi-source visual summaries, consider `Image Concatenate` or `Add Images Weighted` after merging to create collages or blended overlays. * If one image needs padding to align with the other, use `Image Padding` before merging. ## 🛠ī¸ Troubleshooting * Different image sizes: Ensure both inputs share the same width, height, and channel count. Apply `Image Resize` or `Image Resizer` if they do not. * Unexpected colors or channels: Verify both inputs use the same color format (e.g., RGB/BGR) and channel ordering before merging. * No output or blank image: Confirm upstream blocks are providing valid image data to both inputs; use `Show Image` on each source to inspect them. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
