AVG3x3 filter

The standard average or smooth filter is a standard linear filter which works in a 3 by 3 environment. The values in the matrix are:

1

1

1

1

1

1

1

1

1

Gain factor = 1/9 = 0.111111

When 9 values in an input map are:

17

22

18

21

15

18

17

20

23

The filter calculates:

(1*17 + 1*22 + 1*18 + 1*21 + 1*15 + 1*18 + 1*17 + 1*21 + 1*23) * 0.111111 = 19

  

The output value assigned to the central pixel is 19 (the value in the input map was 15) .
