But the operation is slower compared to other filters. An order of 1, 2, or 3 corresponds to convolution with the first, second or third derivatives of a gaussian. The order of the filter along each axis is given as a sequence of integers, or as a single number. As filter size increases, the level of blurring increases because all pixels inside. Figure 4 shows that the gaussian filter does a better job of retaining the edges of the image when compared to the mean filter however it also produces artifacts on a color image.

This gaussian filter is a function of space alone, that is, nearby pixels are considered while filtering. We need to produce a discrete approximation to the gaussian function. For example, multiplying the dft of an image by a twodimensional gaussian function is a common way to blur an image by decreasing the magnitude of its highfrequency components. It was written for educational purposes, so it can help you. A gaussian kernel is a kernel with the shape of a gaussian normal distribution curve.
