Really make a good and shorter example

Just focus on the function createavg(Size imsize); I commented the code for gaussian kernel but it works fine for that, but when replaced with average kernel the output is different.

There is no problem in your code and result seems good. Instead of :

Mat kernel = (Mat_<float>(3, 3) << 0.111,  0.111,  0.111,
                             0.111,  0.111,  0.111,
             0.111,  0.111,  0.111);

try

Mat kernel = Mat(127,127,CV_32FC1,Scalar(1/(127.*127)));

Can you please explain what it does? I just need to apply the mean blur filter so need a Mat kernel for the same.

f*g=TF^(-1)(Tf(f).TF(g))

  • convolution and dot product

if g is your kernel then in space frequency domain you have to multiply with TF(g)

see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fourier...

The output image is quite distorted after using the kernel you specified. Why so? And what was my kernel doing and what is your kernel doing? I just want to understand the logic behind it. Also in your kernel code can you please explain what Scalar is doing? and why you have used a decimal after 127

And the kernel isnt Blurring the image,, i changed the values from 127 to 255 in your specified kernel @LBerger and i got a more crisper image

"The output image is quite distorted after using the kernel you specified." windowing effect

Really try to understand f*g=TF^(-1)(Tf(f).TF(g)) * convolution and dot product

You can fin many tutorial about fourier transform and image processing

Can you provide me a kernel for performing average blur to the image in frequency domain?According to me it should have worked by the above kernel

vaibhav_wimpsta gravatar imagevaibhav_wimpsta ( 2018-05-30 02:28:01 -0600 )edit

I first computed dft of my main image, then made a kernel mask padded it with zeroes to the size of image, after that i shifted the mask and multiplied the dft image and mask, then made the inverse dft I just need to apply a mean blur on image in frequency domain
