BoxFilter2d

Smooths an image using a box kernel.

Access to parameter description

For an introduction to image filters: section Images Filtering.

This algorithm smooths an image using the same box kernel as a lowpass filter. The filter's X and Y sizes are user-defined.

The algorithm calculates the local mean in a given size window. For a window of size $2p+1$ in X and $2q+1$ in Y: $$ O(n,m)=\frac{1}{K}\sum_{i=-p}^{p}\sum_{j=-q}^{q} I(n-i,m-j) $$ The $K$ coefficient is a normalization factor: Note: If the result is normalized, the output image has same type as the input. Else, it is upgraded according to the Image type promotion rule.

Parameters

Parameter Name Description Type Supported Values Default Value
input
kernelSizeX
The horizontal kernel size. Int32 >=1 3
input
kernelSizeY
The vertical kernel size. Int32 >=1 3
input
inputImage
The input image. Image Binary, Grayscale or Multispectral nullptr
input
autoScale
The automatic intensity scaling mode.
NO The result is not normalized; it corresponds to the sum of the window elements.
YES The result is automatically normalized by the number of elements of the kernel; it corresponds to the mean of the window elements.
