The gaussian filter size don't need to change because of the change in its content.....Khalid Gidaya.

Hello forum,
question about gaussian kernel.

take an image 512x512. Does the gaussian filter size (usually and odd size), depend on the standard deviation of the filter?

What I mean is: the discrete approximation to the kernel makes it go to zero after 3 sigmas.

If the kernel is, say, 5x5 for sigma1. If we increase the sigma such that
sigma2=2*sigma1, do I need to increase the size of the kernel? By how much?
Twice the size? 11X11?

thanks
