Description

The operator mean_spmean_spMeanSpMeanSpMeanSp carries out a smoothing by averaging the values. Only the gray values within the interval from MinThreshMinThreshMinThreshMinThreshminThresh to MaxThreshMaxThreshMaxThreshMaxThreshmaxThresh are averaged. Gray values which are too light or too dark are ignored during summation. If no gray value lies within the default interval during summation the original gray value is adopted. If the thresholds are set at 0 or 255, respectively, the operator mean_spmean_spMeanSpMeanSpMeanSp behaves like mean_imagemean_imageMeanImageMeanImageMeanImage except for the running time.

The operator mean_spmean_spMeanSpMeanSpMeanSp is used to suppress extreme gray values (salt and pepper noise = white and black dots).

For an explanation of the concept of smoothing filters see the introduction of chapter Filters / Smoothing.

Attention

If even values instead of odd values are given for MaskHeightMaskHeightMaskHeightMaskHeightmaskHeight or MaskWidthMaskWidthMaskWidthMaskWidthmaskWidth, the routine uses the next larger odd values instead (this way the center of the filter mask is always explicitly determined).

This operator may return unexpected results if an image with a reduced domain is used as input. Please refer to the chapter Filters.
