blur()

GMat cv::gapi::blur	(	const GMat &	src,
		const Size &	ksize,
		const Point &	anchor = Point(-1,-1),
		int	borderType = BORDER_DEFAULT,
		const Scalar &	borderValue = Scalar(0)
	)

#include <opencv2/gapi/imgproc.hpp>

Blurs an image using the normalized box filter.

The function smooths an image using the kernel:

\[\texttt{K} = \frac{1}{\texttt{ksize.width*ksize.height}} \begin{bmatrix} 1 & 1 & 1 & \cdots & 1 & 1 \\ 1 & 1 & 1 & \cdots & 1 & 1 \\ \hdotsfor{6} \\ 1 & 1 & 1 & \cdots & 1 & 1 \\ \end{bmatrix}\]

The call blur(src, dst, ksize, anchor, borderType) is equivalent to boxFilter(src, dst, src.type(), anchor, true, borderType).

Supported input matrix data types are CV_8UC1, CV_8UC3, CV_16UC1, CV_16SC1, CV_32FC1. Output image must have the same type, size, and number of channels as the input image.

Note

Rounding to nearest even is procedeed if hardware supports it, if not - to nearest.

Function textual ID is "org.opencv.imgproc.filters.blur"

Parameters

src	Source image.
ksize	blurring kernel size.
anchor	anchor point; default value Point(-1,-1) means that the anchor is at the kernel center.
borderType	border mode used to extrapolate pixels outside of the image, see cv::BorderTypes
borderValue	border value in case of constant border type

boxFilter()

GMat cv::gapi::boxFilter	(	const GMat &	src,
		int	dtype,
		const Size &	ksize,
		const Point &	anchor = Point(-1,-1),
		bool	normalize = true,
		int	borderType = BORDER_DEFAULT,
		const Scalar &	borderValue = Scalar(0)
	)

#include <opencv2/gapi/imgproc.hpp>

Blurs an image using the box filter.

The function smooths an image using the kernel:

\[\texttt{K} = \alpha \begin{bmatrix} 1 & 1 & 1 & \cdots & 1 & 1 \\ 1 & 1 & 1 & \cdots & 1 & 1 \\ \hdotsfor{6} \\ 1 & 1 & 1 & \cdots & 1 & 1 \end{bmatrix}\]

where

\[\alpha = \fork{\frac{1}{\texttt{ksize.width*ksize.height}}}{when \texttt{normalize=true}}{1}{otherwise}\]

Unnormalized box filter is useful for computing various integral characteristics over each pixel neighborhood, such as covariance matrices of image derivatives (used in dense optical flow algorithms, and so on). If you need to compute pixel sums over variable-size windows, use cv::integral.

Supported input matrix data types are CV_8UC1, CV_8UC3, CV_16UC1, CV_16SC1, CV_32FC1. Output image must have the same type, size, and number of channels as the input image.

equalizeHist()

GMat cv::gapi::equalizeHist

(

const GMat &

src

)

#include <opencv2/gapi/imgproc.hpp>

Equalizes the histogram of a grayscale image.

The function equalizes the histogram of the input image using the following algorithm:

• Calculate the histogram \(H\) for src .
• Normalize the histogram so that the sum of histogram bins is 255.
• Compute the integral of the histogram:

  \[H'_i = \sum _{0 \le j < i} H(j)\]

• Transform the image using \(H'\) as a look-up table: \(\texttt{dst}(x,y) = H'(\texttt{src}(x,y))\)

The algorithm normalizes the brightness and increases the contrast of the image.

Note

The returned image is of the same size and type as input.

filter2D()

		int	borderType = BORDER_DEFAULT,
		const Scalar &	borderValue = Scalar(0)
	)

#include <opencv2/gapi/imgproc.hpp>

Convolves an image with the kernel.

The function applies an arbitrary linear filter to an image. When the aperture is partially outside the image, the function interpolates outlier pixel values according to the specified border mode.

The function does actually compute correlation, not the convolution:

\[\texttt{dst} (x,y) = \sum _{ \stackrel{0\leq x' < \texttt{kernel.cols},}{0\leq y' < \texttt{kernel.rows}} } \texttt{kernel} (x',y')* \texttt{src} (x+x'- \texttt{anchor.x} ,y+y'- \texttt{anchor.y} )\]

That is, the kernel is not mirrored around the anchor point. If you need a real convolution, flip the kernel using flip and set the new anchor to (kernel.cols - anchor.x - 1, kernel.rows - anchor.y - 1).

Supported matrix data types are CV_8UC1, CV_8UC3, CV_16UC1, CV_16SC1, CV_32FC1. Output image must have the same size and number of channels an input image.

Note

Rounding to nearest even is procedeed if hardware supports it, if not - to nearest.

Function textual ID is "org.opencv.imgproc.filters.filter2D"

Parameters

src	input image.
ddepth	desired depth of the destination image
kernel	convolution kernel (or rather a correlation kernel), a single-channel floating point matrix; if you want to apply different kernels to different channels, split the image into separate color planes using split and process them individually.
anchor	anchor of the kernel that indicates the relative position of a filtered point within the kernel; the anchor should lie within the kernel; default value (-1,-1) means that the anchor is at the kernel center.
delta	optional value added to the filtered pixels before storing them in dst.
borderType	pixel extrapolation method, see cv::BorderTypes
borderValue	border value in case of constant border type

	)

#include <opencv2/gapi/imgproc.hpp>

Blurs an image using a Gaussian filter.

The function filter2Ds the source image with the specified Gaussian kernel. Output image must have the same type and number of channels an input image.

Supported input matrix data types are CV_8UC1, CV_8UC3, CV_16UC1, CV_16SC1, CV_32FC1. Output image must have the same type, size, and number of channels as the input image.

Note

Rounding to nearest even is procedeed if hardware supports it, if not - to nearest.

Function textual ID is "org.opencv.imgproc.filters.gaussianBlur"

Parameters

src	input image;

sigmaX	Gaussian kernel standard deviation in X direction.
sigmaY	Gaussian kernel standard deviation in Y direction; if sigmaY is zero, it is set to be equal to sigmaX, if both sigmas are zeros, they are computed from ksize.width and ksize.height, respectively (see cv::getGaussianKernel for details); to fully control the result regardless of possible future modifications of all this semantics, it is recommended to specify all of ksize, sigmaX, and sigmaY.

Blurs an image using the median filter.

The function smoothes an image using the median filter with the \(\texttt{ksize} \times \texttt{ksize}\) aperture. Each channel of a multi-channel image is processed independently. Output image must have the same type, size, and number of channels as the input image.

Note

		int	borderType = BORDER_DEFAULT,
		const Scalar &	borderValue = Scalar(0)

#include <opencv2/gapi/imgproc.hpp>

Applies a separable linear filter to a matrix(image).

The function applies a separable linear filter to the matrix. That is, first, every row of src is filtered with the 1D kernel kernelX. Then, every column of the result is filtered with the 1D kernel kernelY. The final result is returned.

Supported matrix data types are CV_8UC1, CV_8UC3, CV_16UC1, CV_16SC1, CV_32FC1. Output image must have the same type, size, and number of channels as the input image.

Note

In case of floating-point computation, rounding to nearest even is procedeed if hardware supports it (if not - to nearest value).

Function textual ID is "org.opencv.imgproc.filters.sepfilter"

Parameters

src	Source image.
ddepth	desired depth of the destination image (the following combinations of src.depth() and ddepth are supported: src.depth() = CV_8U, ddepth = -1/CV_16S/CV_32F/CV_64F src.depth() = CV_16U/CV_16S, ddepth = -1/CV_32F/CV_64F src.depth() = CV_32F, ddepth = -1/CV_32F/CV_64F src.depth() = CV_64F, ddepth = -1/CV_64F

Sobel()

		int	ksize = 3,
		double	scale = 1,
		double	delta = 0,
		int	borderType = BORDER_DEFAULT,
		const Scalar &	borderValue = Scalar(0)
	)

#include <opencv2/gapi/imgproc.hpp>

Calculates the first, second, third, or mixed image derivatives using an extended Sobel operator.

In all cases except one, the \(\texttt{ksize} \times \texttt{ksize}\) separable kernel is used to calculate the derivative. When \(\texttt{ksize = 1}\), the \(3 \times 1\) or \(1 \times 3\) kernel is used (that is, no Gaussian smoothing is done). ksize = 1 can only be used for the first or the second x- or y- derivatives.

There is also the special value ksize = FILTER_SCHARR (-1) that corresponds to the \(3\times3\) Scharr filter that may give more accurate results than the \(3\times3\) Sobel. The Scharr aperture is

\[\vecthreethree{-3}{0}{3}{-10}{0}{10}{-3}{0}{3}\]

for the x-derivative, or transposed for the y-derivative.

The function calculates an image derivative by convolving the image with the appropriate kernel:

\[\texttt{dst} = \frac{\partial^{xorder+yorder} \texttt{src}}{\partial x^{xorder} \partial y^{yorder}}\]

The Sobel operators combine Gaussian smoothing and differentiation, so the result is more or less resistant to the noise. Most often, the function is called with ( xorder = 1, yorder = 0, ksize = 3) or ( xorder = 0, yorder = 1, ksize = 3) to calculate the first x- or y- image derivative. The first case corresponds to a kernel of:

\[\vecthreethree{-1}{0}{1}{-2}{0}{2}{-1}{0}{1}\]

The second case corresponds to a kernel of:

\[\vecthreethree{-1}{-2}{-1}{0}{0}{0}{1}{2}{1}\]

Note

Rounding to nearest even is procedeed if hardware supports it, if not - to nearest.

Function textual ID is "org.opencv.imgproc.filters.sobel"

Parameters

src	input image.
ddepth	output image depth, see combinations; in the case of 8-bit input images it will result in truncated derivatives.
dx	order of the derivative x.
dy	order of the derivative y.
ksize	size of the extended Sobel kernel; it must be odd.
scale	optional scale factor for the computed derivative values; by default, no scaling is applied (see cv::getDerivKernels for details).
