mean and std calculation with non-vectorized and semi-vectorized implementation, good candidates for times numpy.mean and numpy.std does not work! because of memory issues

mean-std.py

#In the name of God, the most compassionate the most merciful
import math
import numpy as np
#English: a simple handy snippet which I specifically wrote for calculating mean for a batch of images,
#in semi-vectorized and unvectorized fashion, along with the fully numpy example to test the output!
#Farsi: 
#mohasebe mean batchi az tasavir be sorate vectorized, unvectorized and semi vectorized
#age version vectorized error kambod hafeze dad, behtare az semi vectorized estefade beshe
#chon unvectorized ya hamoon loop mamoli sooratesh kheyli kame.

#STD 
#a non-vectorized and semi-vectorized implementation for calculating std for a batch of images.
#the semi-vectorized is the one, one should use, since its as fast as the numpy.std
