Rolling Guidance Filter

 

 

Rolling Guidance Filter 非常有用处，为中国香港大学Qi Zhang，Xiaoyong Shen等所发明，其作用基本上可以认为是bilateral 的升级版。

Rolling Guidance Filter 在去移除和平滑图像中的复杂的小区域时，还能保证大区域物体边界的准确性。

因此，可以使用Rolling Guidance Filter 去除复杂背景，获取物体轮廓，方便图像分割。同时用其逆运算，可以增强图像细节。

OpenCV 3.1.0 已经将此算法集成进去，接口定义方法见下：

 

void cv::ximgproc::rollingGuidanceFilter

	(	InputArray	src,
		OutputArray	dst,
		int	d = -1,
		double	sigmaColor = 25,
		double	sigmaSpace = 3,
		int	numOfIter = 4,
		int	borderType = BORDER_DEFAULT
	)

Applies the rolling guidance filter to an image.

Parameters

src	Source 8-bit or floating-point, 1-channel or 3-channel image.
dst	Destination image of the same size and type as src.
d	Diameter of each pixel neighborhood that is used during filtering. If it is non-positive, it is computed from sigmaSpace .
sigmaColor	Filter sigma in the color space. A larger value of the parameter means that farther colors within the pixel neighborhood (see sigmaSpace ) will be mixed together, resulting in larger areas of semi-equal color.
sigmaSpace	Filter sigma in the coordinate space. A larger value of the parameter means that farther pixels will influence each other as long as their colors are close enough (see sigmaColor ). When d>0 , it specifies the neighborhood size regardless of sigmaSpace . Otherwise, d is proportional to sigmaSpace .
numOfIter	Number of iterations of joint edge-preserving filtering applied on the source image.
borderType

Note

rollingGuidanceFilter uses jointBilateralFilter as the edge-preserving filter.
