Class MaximumKernel

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    Filter, Serializable

    public class MaximumKernel
    extends NonAveragingKernel
    A maximum kernel is a non linear filter scanning the image and replacing every value with the maximum value found in the neighborhood. This maximum kernel allows a weight matrix to be supplied.

    Example 1D kernel width 5 Kernel and no/uniform mask

            Values: 5 4 1 3 6
     
    During convolution, the kernel looks at the value 1 and replaces it with the value 6 due to it being the maximum.

    A weight mask [1 2 3 2 1] can give more emphasis on closer pixel values. An intermediary value matrix is calculated:

     Values * Mask = [5 8 3 6 6]
     
    and it is found that the second value is the maximum. Now the unaltered vlaue at position 2 is taken. Therefore the 1 is replaced with the value 4.

        public MaximumKernel​(int width,
                             int height)
        Create a maximum kernel with no weight matrix
        Parameters:
        width - of the kernel
        height - height of the kernel
      • MaximumKernel

        public MaximumKernel​(double[][] mask)
        Create a kernel with the given masks dimension. The masks acts as weight filter increasing or decreasing the weight of the value during convolution. For an example see the javadoc of the class.
        Parameters:
        mask - weight matrix used to judge which value is the maximum
