Remarks
- A spatial filter recomputes the brightness of each pixel in an image by using a weighted averaging technique that considers the surrounding pixels. Spatial filters are used for operations such as sharpening an image or detecting edges within the image.
- The SpatialActivity works best with 24-bit, 16-bit, or grayscale images. If the image uses a color palette, this activity matches the new brightness value of each pixel to the nearest color in the existing palette.
- This activity supports 12 and 16-bit grayscale and 48 and 64-bit color images. Support for 12 and 16-bit grayscale and 48 and 64-bit color images is available only in the Document/Medical toolkits.
- It is beyond the scope of this documentation to explain how applying various weighting factors affects an image. If you specify your own filter, you should refer to a textbook on image processing. For example, Digital Image Processing: Principles and Applications, by Gregory A. Baxes.
- This activity does not support 32-bit grayscale images.
