- NAME
- pnmconvol - general MxN convolution on a portable anymap
-
- SYNOPSIS
- pnmconvol convolutionfile [pnmfile]
-
- DESCRIPTION
- Reads two portable anymaps as input. Convolves the second
- using the first, and writes a portable anymap as output.
-
- Convolution means replacing each pixel with a weighted
- average of the nearby pixels. The weights and the area to
- average are determined by the convolution matrix. The
- unsigned numbers in the convolution file are offset by
- -maxval/2 to make signed numbers, and then normalized, so
- the actual values in the convolution file are only relative.
-
- Here is a sample convolution file; it does a simple average
- of the immediate neighbors, resulting in a smoothed image:
- P2
- 3 3
- 18
- 10 10 10
- 10 10 10
- 10 10 10
-
- The convolution file will usually be a bitmap or graymap
- instead of a pixmap, so that the same convolution gets
- applied to each color component. However, if you want to
- use a pixmap and do a different convolution to different
- colors, you can certainly do that.
