5.2 Filters
You can use up to five different filter combinations in a single ROI, and there are fifteen different filter types.
Gauss
:
Smoothes the image using the discrete Gaussian function. The smoothing effect increases
with increasing filter size.
Erosion
: Erodes a region of an image or the complete image where its boundary is smoothed and
also reduced.
Dilation
: Dilates a region of an image or the complete image where its boundary is smoothed and
also enlarged.
Mean
:
Smoothes the image by averaging and uses a linear smoothing with the grey value of the
source image.
Median
: Computes a median filter with various square or circular masks.
Range
:
Highlights and outlines contour edges.
Mirror
: Mirrors an image across its horizontal or vertical axis.
Rotate
: Rotates an image by a defined angle.
Invert
: Inverts the gray scale values of an image.
Opening
: Applies a gray value opening to the input image with the structuring element of shape.
Closing
:
Applies a gray value closing to the input image with the structuring element of shape.
Sharpen
: Enhances the contrast in the image by emphasizing high frequency areas of
the image edges and corners, resulting sharper images appearance.
Correction
:
To compensation non-uniform illumination or non-uniform camera sensitivity.
Binary
: Binaries the image with the selected threshold value (selected threshold
value will be replaced by 0 whereas the remaining will be replaced by 255).
Histo-Equalization
: Contrast adjustment of the image histogram.
