mean-bilateral

mean_bilateral

skimage.filters.rank.mean_bilateral(image, selem, out=None, mask=None, shift_x=False, shift_y=False, s0=10, s1=10) [source]

Apply a flat kernel bilateral filter.

This is an edge-preserving and noise reducing denoising filter. It averages pixels based on their spatial closeness and radiometric similarity.

Spatial closeness is measured by considering only the local pixel neighborhood given by a structuring element.

Radiometric similarity is defined by the greylevel interval [g-s0, g+s1] where g is the current pixel greylevel.

Only pixels belonging to the structuring element and having a greylevel inside this interval are averaged.

Parameters:

image : 2-D array (uint8, uint16) Input image. selem : 2-D array The neighborhood expressed as a 2-D array of 1’s and 0’s. out : 2-D array (same dtype as input) If None, a new array is allocated. mask : ndarray Mask array that defines (>0) area of the image included in the local neighborhood. If None, the complete image is used (default). shift_x, shift_y : int Offset added to the structuring element center point. Shift is bounded to the structuring element sizes (center must be inside the given structuring element). s0, s1 : int Define the [s0, s1] interval around the greyvalue of the center pixel to be considered for computing the value.

Returns:

out : 2-D array (same dtype as input image) Output image.
