SmoothImage_Gauss


Smooths an image using a gaussian kernel.

Name Type Range Description
inImage Image Input image
inRoi Region* Range of output pixels to be computed
inStdDevX Real 0.0 - Horizontal smoothing standard deviation
inStdDevY Real* 0.0 - Vertical smoothing standard deviation
inKernelRelativeSize Real 0.0 - 3.0 A multiple of the standard deviation determining the size of the kernel
outImage Image Output image
diagKernelRadiusX Integer Horizontal radius of Gaussian kernel being used
diagKernelRadiusY Integer Vertical radius of Gaussian kernel being used

Applications

Removal of gaussian noise from images.

Hints

  • To make smoothing stronger, increase the inStdDevX and - optionally - inStdDevY.
  • Increase inKernelRelativeSize to achieve better quality at the cost of a bit longer execution time.
  • For small kernels consider switching to SmoothImage_Gauss_Mask to achieve the highest performance.

Examples

Description of usage of this filter can be found in examples and tutorial: Blister Inspection (NET GmbH), Fertilizer Granulation, HMI Configuration Page, Image Modification Using the HMI, Using HMI multipanel control.

SmoothImage_Gauss performed on a sample image with inStdDevX = 3.0.
