SnnFilter2d
Performs an edge-preserving smoothing of a two-dimensional image with the Symmetric Nearest Neighbor filter.
Access to parameter description
For an introduction to image filters: see Images Filtering.
This algorithm implements the Symmetric Nearest Neighbor filter (SNN), which is an average filter weighted by the structural symmetry of a rectangular neighborhood window. It computes a local mean around a central pixel $x$, considering for each neighbor pixel $y$, having a gray level $I(y)$, the value given by:
$$ I'(y)=\left\{\begin{array}{ll} I(y) & ~\mbox{if $|I(x)-I(y)| < |I(x)-I(y_s)|$} \\ I(y_s) & ~\mbox{if $|I(x)-I(y)| > |I(x)-I(y_s)|$} \\ I(x) & ~\mbox{otherwise} \end{array}\right. $$ Where $y_s$ is the neighbor pixel symmetric to $y$ with respect to $x$.
The output value of the pixel $x$ is then given by: $$ O(x)=\mu[I'(y)] $$ Where $\mu$ is the mean value of the local window.
