Image-filtering-without-predefined-filters

Different types of filters (smoothing, edge-preserving etc.) applied to sample images in Matlab and implemented without any inbuild function. When the code is running, the initial images are displayed along with the results of their processing.

1. Smoothing Filters

   Box or Averaging Filter (3x3) (image:noise.bmp)

   Median Filter (image:noise.bmp)

   Binomial Filter (5x5) (image:Ph3_3a.tif)

2. Min/Max filtering

   Image thresholding (image:Ph3_3b.tif)

   Min Filter (image:Ph3_3b.tif)

   Max Filter (image:Ph3_3b.tif)

3. Sharpening (High-pass) Filters

   Gradient Filter: Sobel Operator

   Normalized x-gradient from Sobel  (image:Ph3_3c.tif)
   Normalized y-gradient from Sobel  (image:Ph3_3c.tif)
   

   %For edge detection and enhancement the generated images could be added and then, this final image should be subtracted from the initial one.

   Laplace Filter
