Derivatives
Image filtering fundamentals
Filtering builds almost everything downstream: denoise before edge detection, build pyramids, or preprocess for feature extractors. Know linear vs nonlinear behavior and border policies.
Convolution intuition
Slide a template over the image, sum weighted neighbors—implements low-pass, high-pass, or matched filters depending on kernel values.
Building blocks
Low-pass
Gaussian and box filters suppress noise and fine texture—also used as baseline for unsharp masking.
High-pass / edges
Derivative kernels emphasize changes; larger σ blur-first-then-derive stabilizes noisy derivatives.
Nonlinear
Median, bilateral, and morphological filters handle outliers and preserve structure differently than convolutions.
Separable Gaussian
Two 1D passes implement 2D Gaussian efficiently—critical for real-time pipelines.
Typical preprocessing
Capture → Denoise / normalize → Filter bank or CNN layers → Tasks
