Smotthing Images
Smoothing Image effectively reduces the information content of the image by convolving it with a Gaussian or other similar kernel function. OpenCV makes such convolutions exceptionally easy to do. We use cvSmooth function which has the following form :
Function parameters
void cvSmooth(const CvArr* src, CvArr* dst, int smoothtype=CV GAUSSIAN, int param1=3, int param2=0, double param3=0, double param4=0);
Program
#include "cv.h" #include "highgui.h" int main() { IplImage* newImg; newImg = cvLoadImage("Desert1.jpg",1); IplImage* out = cvCreateImage(cvGetSize(newImg),IPL_DEPTH_8U,3); // Smoothing image cvSmooth( newImg, out, CV_GAUSSIAN, 3, 3 ); // creating windows cvNamedWindow("Smooth", 1); cvNamedWindow("real", 1); // displaying windows cvShowImage("Smooth", out); cvShowImage("real", newImg); cvWaitKey(0); //destroying windows cvDestroyWindow("Smooth"); cvDestroyWindow("real"); //release the memory for the image cvReleaseImage( &out ); cvReleaseImage( &newImg ); return 0; }
