Help with understanding a low pass filter code
显示 更早的评论
The aim of this piece of code is to smooth a horizontal histogram by applying a low pass filter.
First horizontal and vertical histograms representing the sum of differences of gray values between neighboring pixels of an image, column-wise and row-wise were used. The horizontal histogram is named horz1 so horz1(i)=sum where 'i' is the column number and 'sum' is sum of differences. Then, a low pass filter was applied. I don't understand the 'applying low pass filter' part. Where do the values 20, 21 and 40 come from? if anyone could help me understand I would really appreciate it.
%%horizontal histogram
disp('Processing Edges Horizontally...');
max_horz = 0;
maximum = 0;
for i = 2:cols
sum = 0;
for j = 2:rows
if(I(j, i) > I(j-1, i))
difference = uint32(I(j, i) - I(j-1, i));
else
difference = uint32(I(j-1, i) - I(j, i));
end
if(difference > 20)
sum = sum + difference;
end
end
horz1(i) = sum;
%%applying low pass filter
sum = 0;
horz = horz1;
for i = 21:(cols-21)
sum = 0;
for j = (i-20):(i+20)
sum = sum + horz1(j);
end
horz(i) = sum / 41;
end
end

That's the window size they chose. A larger window size will give more smoothing. A smaller window size will give less smoothing. We don't know why they chose a window size of 41, all we can guess is that that seemed to be best for the "look" they were after.
Also, don't use "sum" as the name of a variable since it's a built-in function.
Other than that, all I can say is that the code is a poorly thought out mess. I would not recommend using code from this author.

Basically they find horizontal edges by looking for lines where one line is different than the line above it or below it by at least 20 gray levels. Then, once it has processes at least 42 columns, it takes the average of "horiz1" in a window that range from i-20 to i+20 (meaning 41 elements). The result is put into horz. The code is inefficient junk. don't use it.

I guess that's the window size that gave the amount of blurring/smoothing they wanted.

I have no idea, especially without an image to see exactly what it's doing. I guess it's to reduce noise.
