[comp.graphics] Filtering using local neighborhood

izahi@portia.Stanford.EDU (Raul Izahi Lopez Hernandez) (03/05/90)

I know it is possible to do low-pass or high-pass filtering by using the
center value and neighboring pixels of an image. But, how are:
	1. Number of pixels.
	2. Shape of neighborhood.
	3. Weighting of neighbors.
	4. Operations between pixels.
related to filtering parameters such as slope (dB/Octave or dB/Decade)
and center frequency?
   I'm looking for mathematical tools that support empirical work in
image processing for my Thesis. Any help would be appreciated.

	For a good treatment try:

	"Two-dimensional Signal and Image Processing"

	(c) Prentice Hall International 1990
	ISBN: 0-13-934563-9

	Try the Frequently Asked Questions posting, it will tell you 
	where to find ALV, PBM, etc. These could be what you are looking
	for (I certainly use them for IP).
