• Gaussian filtering
Gaussian filter
• Gaussian filter is a type of linear filter.
• It tends to blur sharp edges.
Gaussian filter
Gaussian filter
• Gaussian filter is smoothing filter in the 2d convolution operation
that is used to remove noise and blur the image.
• Gaussian filter is applied by convoluting each point in the input
array with a gaussian kernel and then summing them up altogether
to produce output array.
1D gaussian equation is given by:
•   2
𝑥
− 2
1 2𝜎
𝑔 (𝑥 )= 𝑒
√2 𝜋 𝜎
2D gaussian equation is given by:
•  
• Here s. dev. is 1.
