RGB Channel Standardization
A common computer vision preprocessing step is to standardize the pixel intensities of each RGB (red, green, and blue) color channel independently. For every pixel in a given channel, the channel's mean value is subtracted and the result is divided by the channel's standard deviation. When fine-tuning a model pretrained on ImageNet, the standardization must use the source dataset's statistics rather than those of the target dataset. The canonical ImageNet channel means are and the corresponding standard deviations are .
