What does cv normalize src dst 0 255 NORM MINMAX CV 8UC1

Question

What does the cv  normalize  src  dst  0  255  NORM MINMAX  CV 8UC1   do in OpenCV   I went through  the documentation and was unable to understand what alpha  beta  NORM MINMAX and CV 8UC1 actually do  I am aware alpha sets the lower and beta the higher bound  CV 8UC1 stands for an 8-bit unsigned single channel  But what exactly these arguments do to the picture is what I am unable to comprehend

When the normType is NORM MINMAX  cv  normalize normalizes  src in such a way that the min value of dst is alpha and max value of dst is beta  cv  normalize does its magic using only scales and shifts  i e  adding constants and multiplying by constants    CV 8UC1 says how many channels dst has   The documentation here is pretty clear  http   docs opencv org modules core doc operations on arrays html normalize
