Overview

Applies local averaging in the image plane independently for each The filter size defines the square spatial neighborhood used for averaging. A value of 3 uses a 3 x 3 neighborhood.

If an even value is entered, IDCubePro increases it to the next Larger kernels produce stronger spatial smoothing and reduce local Spatial smoothing does not change the number or position of the

  • Spatial pixel noise is present.
  • Small local intensity fluctuations should be suppressed.
  • Spectral band positions should remain unchanged.

Spatial averaging can blur edges, reduce small objects, and suppress fine spatial detail when the selected neighborhood is too large.

Workflow

1. Load a hyperspectral dataset.

2. Open Correct > Filtering & Enhancement.

3. Select Spatial Mean Filter.

4. Enter the desired filter size.

5. Inspect the filtered image and spectra.

6. Use Reset Filters if the result is not desired.
