Description
Smooths an image using a selected algorithm.
Filters in this group
| Icon | Name | Filter Name | Description | 
|---|---|---|---|
| Mean | SmoothImage_Mean | Smooths an image by averaging pixels within a rectangular kernel. Usually used for computing features related to local image "windows". Can be also used for noise removal, but Gauss is superior here.  | 
	|
| Median | SmoothImage_Median | Replaces each pixel with the median of pixels within a kernel. Edge-preserving noise removal (but slow).  | 
	|
| Quantile | SmoothImage_Quantile | Replaces each pixel with a quantile of pixels within a kernel. Edge-preserving noise removal (but slow).  | 
	|
| Mean_Mask | SmoothImage_Mean_Mask | Smooths an image by averaging pixels within a small rectangular kernel. This is a faster alternative to SmoothImage_Mean when the kernel is very small.  | 
	|
| Median_Mask | SmoothImage_Median_Mask | Replaces each pixel with the median of pixels within a 3x3 rectangular kernel (faster). | 
	|
| Mean_AnyKernel | SmoothImage_Mean_AnyKernel | Smooths an image by averaging pixels within an arbitrary kernel. Usually used for computing features related to local image "windows" having non-standard shape.  | 
	|
| Bilateral | SmoothImage_Bilateral | Smooths an image while preserving sharp edges. | 
	|
| Gauss | SmoothImage_Gauss | Smooths an image using a gaussian kernel. Removal of gaussian noise from images.  | 
	|
| Gauss_Mask | SmoothImage_Gauss_Mask | Smooths an image using a predefined gaussian kernel. Removal of gaussian noise from images (fast).  | 
	|
| Deriche | SmoothImage_Deriche | Smooths an image using Deriche filter. Approximation of the gaussian filter, which can be faster for large kernels.  | 
	|
| Middle | SmoothImage_Middle | Replaces each pixel with the average of maximum and minimum calculated within a kernel. Useful for calculating per-pixel threshold values for image binarization.  | 
	|
| DirAndPresence | SmoothImage_DirAndPresence | Smooths the result of GradientDirAndPresenceImage. |
