SmoothImage

Description

Smooths an image using a selected algorithm.

Icon Name Description
SmoothImage_Mean Usually used for computing features related to local image "windows". Can be also used for noise removal, but Gauss is superior here.
SmoothImage_Median Edge-preserving noise removal (but slow).
SmoothImage_Quantile Edge-preserving noise removal (but slow).
SmoothImage_Mean_Mask This is a faster alternative to SmoothImage_Mean when the kernel is very small.
SmoothImage_Median_Mask Replaces each pixel with the median of pixels within a 3x3 rectangular kernel (faster).
SmoothImage_Mean_AnyKernel Usually used for computing features related to local image "windows" having non-standard shape.
SmoothImage_Gauss Removal of gaussian noise from images.
SmoothImage_Gauss_Mask Removal of gaussian noise from images (fast).
SmoothImage_Deriche Approximation of the gaussian filter, which can be faster for large kernels.
SmoothImage_Middle Useful for calculating per-pixel threshold values for image binarization.
