Methods
  NameDescription
Public methodApply(Bitmap)
Apply filter to an image.
(Inherited from BaseFilter.)
Public methodApply(BitmapData)
Apply filter to an image.
(Inherited from BaseFilter.)

Apply filter to an image in unmanaged memory.
(Inherited from BaseFilter.)
Public methodApply(UnmanagedImage, UnmanagedImage)
Apply filter to an image in unmanaged memory.
(Inherited from BaseFilter.)
Public methodEquals
Determines whether the specified object is equal to the current object.
(Inherited from Object.)
Protected methodFinalize
Allows an object to try to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before it is reclaimed by garbage collection.
(Inherited from Object.)
Public methodGetHashCode
Serves as the default hash function.
(Inherited from Object.)
Public methodGetType
Gets the Type of the current instance.
(Inherited from Object.)

Extension Methods
  NameDescription
Public Extension MethodHasMethod
Checks whether an object implements a method with the given name.
(Defined by ExtensionMethods.)
Public Extension MethodIsEqual
Compares two objects for equality, performing an elementwise comparison if the elements are vectors or matrices.
(Defined by Matrix.)
Public Extension MethodTo(Type)Overloaded.
Converts an object into another type, irrespective of whether the conversion can be done at compile time or not. This can be used to convert generic types to numeric types during runtime.

Remarks

In image processing, a Gabor filter, named after Dennis Gabor, is a linear filter used for edge detection. Frequency and orientation representations of Gabor filters are similar to those of the human visual system, and they have been found to be particularly appropriate for texture representation and discrimination. In the spatial domain, a 2D Gabor filter is a Gaussian kernel function modulated by a sinusoidal plane wave. The Gabor filters are self-similar: all filters can be generated from one mother wavelet by dilation and rotation.

Examples

The following example applies a Gabor filter to detect lines at a 45 degrees from the following image:

Bitmap input = ...;

// Create a new Gabor filter
GaborFilter filter = new GaborFilter();

// Apply the filter
Bitmap output = filter.Apply(input);

// Show the output
ImageBox.Show(output);

The resulting image is shown below.
