前置内容
在学习引导滤波,最好对高斯滤波和双边滤波有过理解,对于高斯滤波: Wij=Ki1exp(−σ2∣xj−xi∣2),其中 W是权重, i和 j是像素的索引, K是归一化的常量。公式可以看出,权重只和像素之间的空间距离有关系存在关系,滤波效果和图像内容无关。所以为了增加对不同的图像有不同的滤波效果,引入了双边滤波,双边滤波的形式为: Wi,j=Ki1exp(−σs2∣xj−xi∣2)exp(−σr2∣Ij−Ii∣2),其中 I是像素的强度值,所以双边滤波在强度差距大的地方(边缘),权重会减小,滤波效应会减少。也就是说,双边滤波在像素强度变化不大的区域,有类似于高斯滤波的效果,而在图像边缘等像素强度梯度较大的地方可以保持梯度。
引导滤波
这个方法是何凯明提出的,在引导滤波中,首先利用了局部线性模型。这个模型认为某函数上一点与其近邻部分的点成线性关系,一个复杂的函数就可以用很多局部的线性函数来表示,当需要求该函数上某一点的值时,只需要计算所有包含该点的线性函数的值并取平均值即可。这种模型,在表示非解析函数上,非常有用。同理,我们可以认为图像是一个二维函数,并且假设该函数的输出与输入在一个二维窗口内满足线性关系,如下: qi=akIi+bk,∀i∈wk其中,q是输出像素的值,I是输入图像的值,i和k是像素索引,a和b是当窗口中心位于k时该线性函数的系数。其实,输入图像不一定是待滤波的图像本身,也可以是其他图像即引导图像,这也是为何称为引导滤波的原因。对上式两边取梯度,可以得到 ∂q=a∂I即当输入图像I有梯度时,输出q也有类似的梯度,现在可以解释为什么引导滤波有边缘保持特性了。下一步是求出线性函数的系数,也就是线性回归,即希望拟合函数的输出值与真实值p之间的差距最小,也就是让下式最小 E(ak,bk)=∑i∈wk((akIi+bk−pi)2+εak2),这里p只能是待滤波图像,并不像I那样可以是其他图像。同时,a之前的系数用于防止求得的a过大,也是调节滤波器滤波效果的重要参数(相当于L2正则化的权重惩罚)。接下来利用最小二乘法的原理令 ∂ak∂E=0和 bk∂E=0得到2个二元一次方程,联立求解得到 ak=σk2+εw1∑i∈wkIipi−ukpˉk, bk=pˉk−akuk,其中 uk是I在窗口 wk的平均值, σk2是I在窗口 wk的方差, ∣w∣是窗口 wk中的像素个数, pˉk是是待滤波图像p在窗口 wk中的均值。在计算每个窗口的线性系数时,我们可以发现一个像素会被多个窗口包含,也就是说,每个像素都由多个线性函数所描述。因此,如之前所说,要具体求某一点的输出值时,只需将所有包含该点的线性函数值平均即可,如下: qi=∣w∣∑k:i∈wk(akIi+bk)1=aˉiIi+bˉi这里, wk是所有包含像素i的窗口,k是其中心位置。
当把引导滤波用作边缘保持滤波器时,往往有 I = p ,如果 ε=0,显然a=1, b=0是E(a,b)为最小值的解,(这里请参考协方差和方差的概念:https://baike.baidu.com/item/协方差/2185936?fr=aladdin)从上式可以看出,这时的滤波器没有任何作用,将输入原封不动的输出。如果 ε>0,在像素强度变化小的区域(或单***域),有a近似于(或等于)0,而b近似于(或等于) pˉk,即做了一个加权均值滤波;而在变化大的区域,a近似于1,b近似于0,对图像的滤波效果很弱,有助于保持边缘。而 ε的作用就是界定什么是变化大,什么是变化小。在窗口大小不变的情况下,随着e的增大,滤波效果越明显。
在滤波效果上,引导滤波和双边滤波差不多,然后在一些细节上,引导滤波较好(在PS的磨皮美白中,经过亲生实践,效果更好)。引导滤波最大的优势在于,可以写出时间复杂度与窗口大小无关的算法,因此在使用大窗口处理图片时,其效率更高。

C++代码实现
在别人博客上找了个代码,自己实现的不知道为什么滤波后只剩下图像的轮廓了,分析下原因,写出自己的代码再放上来。
