Gauss

Check this filter to soften an image by eliminating high-frequency
information using a

Gauss

function. This has the effect of blurring

sharp edges. The operation of the

Gauss

filter is similar to the

Low Pass

filter, but it degrades the image less than the

Low Pass

filter.

High Gauss

Check this filter to enhance fine details. This operation is similar to the
unsharp masking technique (see the Sharpen filter), but it introduces

less noise into the image. It uses a Gaussian curve type of kernel.
Available in 7x7 and 9x9 kernel sizes.

Equalization

This filter is used to enhance the contrast based on the histogram of
the local neighborhood (See

Option

below).

Sharpness

Check this filter to enhance fine details, or refocus an image that is
blurred. The sharpen filter sharpens the image using the unsharp
masking technique.

Median

Check this filter to remove impulse noise from an image. The

Median

filter replaces the center pixel with the

Median

value in its

neighborhood. It will also blur the image.

Rank

Check this filter to remove impulse noise from an image. The pixels in
the kernel are ranked by order of intensity, and the pixel in that range
at the rank percentage is chosen for comparison. For example, in a 5x5
kernel, there are 25 pixels. A rank percentage of 95% would choose

second-brightest pixel for comparison. If the difference between the
selected pixel and the center pixel is greater than the threshold value,
the

Rank

filter replaces the value of the center pixel with the value of

the selected pixel.

Option:

1. If one of the

Enhancement

filters is checked, the following options will be

displayed:

3 x 3

Check

3 x 3

kernel will produce a more subtle filtering effect.

5 x 5

Check

5 x 5

kernel will produce a moderate filtering effect.

7 x 7

Check

7 x 7

kernel will produces a more extreme filtering effect.
