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

The filter performs convolution filter using the kernel, which is calculate with the help of Kernel2D(Int32) method and then converted to integer kernel by dividing all elements by the element with the smallest value. Using the kernel the convolution filter is known as Gaussian blur.

Using Sigma property it is possible to configure sigma value of Gaussian function.

For the list of supported pixel formats, see the documentation to Convolution filter.

Note Note
By default this filter sets ProcessAlpha property to , so the alpha channel of 32 bpp and 64 bpp images is blurred as well.

Sample usage:

// create filter with kernel size equal to 11
// and Gaussia sigma value equal to 4.0
GaussianBlur filter = new GaussianBlur( 4, 11 );
// apply the filter
filter.ApplyInPlace( image );
