Synopsis

OOF.Image.Modify.MedianFilter(image,radius)

Details

  • Parent Menu: OOF.Image.Modify
  • Callback: function doImageMod in module ooflib.image.imagemodifier
  • Parameters:

    image
    Type: The path to an existing Image object.
    radius
    Radius of the filter. Type: A real number.

Description

Apply a median filter to an Image. This replaces the red, green, and blue components of each pixel with the median values of those components in a circle of radius r centered on the pixel. The result is an image with less noise than the original. The given radius is in units of the pixel size. If radius=0, then an optimal radius will be chosen automatically.

This routine comes from the ImageMagick library.
