skimage.filters.rank.mean_bilateral(image, footprint, 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 footprint (structuring element).

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

Only pixels belonging to the footprint and having a graylevel inside this interval are averaged.

Parameters:

image2-D array (uint8, uint16): Input image.
footprint2-D array: The neighborhood expressed as a 2-D array of 1’s and 0’s.

Notes

Subtracting the mean value may introduce underflow. To compensate this potential underflow, the obtained difference is downscaled by a factor of 2 and shifted by n_bins / 2 - 1, the median value of the local histogram (n_bins = max(3, image.max()) +1 for 16-bits images and 256 otherwise).

skimage.filters.rank.sum_bilateral(image, footprint, 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 footprint (structuring element).

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

Only pixels belonging to the footprint AND having a graylevel inside this interval are summed.

Note that the sum may overflow depending on the data type of the input array.

Parameters:

image2-D array (uint8, uint16): Input image.
footprint2-D array: The neighborhood expressed as a 2-D array of 1’s and 0’s.
out2-D array (same dtype as input): If None, a new array is allocated.
maskndarray: 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_yint: Offset added to the footprint center point. Shift is bounded to the footprint sizes (center must be inside the given footprint).
s0, s1int: Define the [s0, s1] interval around the grayvalue of the center pixel to be considered for computing the value.

Returns:

out2-D array (same dtype as input image): Output image.
