Background
 Spatial domain process
g ( x, y )  T [ f ( x, y )]

 where f ( x, y ) is the input image, g ( x, y ) is


the processed image, and T is an operator
on f, defined over some neighborhood of ( x, y )
 linear spatial filter performs a sum-
of-products operation between an
image f and a filter kernel, w.
 The kernel is an array whose size
defines the neighborhood of
operation, and whose coefficients
determine the nature of the filter.
SMOOTHING (LOWPASS)
SPATIAL FILTERS
 Smoothing (also called averaging)
spatial filters are used to reduce
sharp transitions in intensity
LOWPASS GAUSSIAN FILTER
KERNELS
image padding
 Zero padding
 mirror (also called symmetric) padding, in
which values outside the boundary of the
image are obtained by mirror-reflecting
the image across its border
 replicate padding, in which values
outside the boundary are set equal to the
nearest image border value
Order-statistic filters

 median filter: Replace the value of a pixel by


the median of the gray levels in the
neighborhood of that pixel
 Noise-reduction

Sharpening (High Pass) Spatial Filters
Laplacian as an isotropic second
derivative
Practical implementation
of Laplacian
Results of sharpening: Original,
Laplacian, scaled Laplacian, and
sharpened images
Unsharp
masking
• Blur the original image.
• mask = original – blurred
• output = original + mask
Sample
results of
unsharp
masking
a. Original c. a+b

b. Laplacian d. Sobel of a
e. Sobel smoothened with 5x5 g. a+f

f. Mask e * c h. Gamma correction of g
