Name
OOF.Image.Modify.Blur — Blur an image by convolving it with a Gaussian.
Synopsis
OOF.Image.Modify.Blur(image, radius, sigma)

Callback: function

Parameters:
image- Type: The path to an existing
Imageobject. radius- Radius of the Gaussian, in pixels, not counting the center pixel. Type: A positive real number.
sigma- Standard deviation of the Gaussian, in pixels. Type: A positive real number.
Description
Blur the given image. This can be a useful way
of reducing noise, at the obvious expense of a loss of resolution.
The image is convolved with a Gaussian operator whose standard
deviation is sigma.
The radius parameter is the size of the mask used
to perform the convolution, in pixels. The new value of a pixel is
the Gaussian weighted average of the pixel values in a
square with sides of length
2*radius+1 in pixel units, centered on the pixel.
In a color image, each RGB channel is blurred separately.
This routine uses skimage.filters.gaussian from
the scikit-image library.
