===============
Unsharp masking
===============

Unsharp masking is a linear image processing technique which sharpens
the image. The sharp details are identified as a difference between
the original image and its blurred version. These details are then scaled,
and added back to the original image:

    enhanced image = original + amount * (original - blurred)

The blurring step could use any image filter method, e.g. median filter,
but traditionally a gaussian filter is used. The radius parameter in the
unsharp masking filter refers to the sigma parameter of the gaussian filter.

This example shows the effect of different radius and amount parameters.
