Gaussian smoothing

Started by ujjavalsuthar March 29, 2004
Can anybody explain me how gaussian smoothing works for image smoothing?
I mean to say how does that affect the image after operation. What
changes it makes to image pixels, so that we get less noisy image?

tx.

It uses the same principle as a common averaging algorithm

average = SUM w(i)*x(i)

athough in case of averaging, the weights are all 1/N, while
gaussian smoothing uses gaussian weights.

Thus, averaging a pixel value over a close region to it and
using non rectangular weight function, has the same effect
of getting a mean estimate from a set of values of a random
variable. It removes noise in the outer (high frequency) part
of the spectum, however the image might also be contaminated in
the center (low frequency) part of the spectrum.

Hi all,

I have to built a optimized zoom in a PAL Picture for
a DSP application. I
want to know if someone has alredy do this sort of
algorithm.
In this case, what sort of interpolation have you used
? (bicubic, nearest
neighbor, fratal)
Is it possible to use a Zero Padding algorithm ?
Is it possible to use a covolution ?
Any enlightening ideas, suggestions, comments will be
greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

Adrien Bonjour,
Je travaille actuellement sur un algorithme de Zoom
pour une application DSP
(format de l'image PAL)
Est ce que quelqu'un a dtravaillsur un
algorithme de zoom ?
Quel type d'interpolation avez vous utilis ?
(bicubic, nearest neighbor,
fratal)
Est ce qu'il est possible d'utiliser un algorithm basbr /> sur du Zero Padding ?
Est ce qu'il est possible de traiter l'image avec une
covolution ?
Je suis preneur de toutes les ids, conseils,
commentaires, suggestions qui
pourront m'aider.

D'avance merci
