Gaussian Blur

Gaussian filtering uses a specific filter kernel to convolve the image and is a linear smoothing filter that is widely used in the noise removal process of image processing.

Principle

The 3X3 Gaussian filter kernel is as follows:

kernel=116[121242121]\begin{aligned}kernel = \frac{1}{16}\begin{bmatrix} 1 & 2 & 1 \\2 & 4 & 2 \\1 & 2 & 1 \end{bmatrix}\end{aligned}

The 5X5 Gaussian filter kernel is as follows:

kernel=1256[1464141624164624362464162416414641]\begin{aligned}kernel = \frac{1}{256}\begin{bmatrix}1 & 4 & 6 & 4 & 1 \\4 & 16 & 24 & 16 & 4 \\6 & 24 & 36 & 24 & 6 \\4 & 16 & 24 & 16 & 4 \\1 & 4 & 6 & 4 & 1 \end{bmatrix}\end{aligned}
