Image Filtering:
• Filtering techniques are use to enhance and modify digital images.
Also, images filters are use to blurring and noise reduction ,
sharpening and edge detection. Image filters are mainly use for
suppress high (smoothing techniques) and low frequencies(image
enhancement, edge detection).
Median filter:
• Median filter is a non-linear filter. It replaces each pixel values by the median
values of it’s neighbor pixels. This is the efficient way for remove salt-and-
pepper noise. The calculation of the median value is given below.
Laplacian Filter
• Laplace smoothing technique is mainly use to detect image edges. It highlights gray
level discontinuities. It is based on second spatial derivation of an image. To define
Laplacian operator, below equation has been used.
• Laplace edge detector use only one kernel. To detect the edges of an image, this
kernel detects 2nd order derivatives of image’s intensity levels by using only single
pass. We can use “kernel 2" for detects edges with diagonals. It will give better
approximation. Also, Laplace method gives faster calculations than others.
Gaussian Filter:
• This filter is a 2-D convolutional operator. It use to blur images. Also, it
removes details and noises. Gaussian filter is similar to mean filter. But main
difference is, Gaussian filter use a kernel. That kernel has a shape of gaussian
hump. Gaussian kernel weights pixels at its center much more strongly than its
boundaries. There are different gaussian kernels. Based on the kernel size,
output image will be different.
Neighbourhood Average Filter:
• This filter is also called as mean filter. In average filtering, pixel values will be
replace by average values of neighbour pixels. The calculation of average
value is as follows.
BOX Filter:
• Box filter is a spatial domain linear image filter. Also, this box filter is a low-
pass filter. It’s operations are similar to average filtering technique.
