Hi guys, I got to analyse image that is created by Atomic Force Microscope so contains different height values. But I want to make sure I implement these equations correctly, can somebody please help. Would be much appreciated.
Best regards, Matiss

It's hard to help unless you show us the code you've written.

If you have your height values in a 2D matrix Z, use
sa = mean2(abs(Z));
sq = sqrt(mean2(Z.^2))
sz = max(Z(:)) - min(Z(:))

@Matiss - you need to divide by area if you want normalized numbers. You can be rest assured these results from code by @Thorsten is only off by a constant scale factor (of area of image in question with additional fixed constants) from this other software you are mentioning.
