bilateral — 2D smoothing op

Data kinds: imageimage

Call: fullseye.apply(img, "bilateral", a=0.5, b=0.5) (the 2-D model is one image plus two scalar knobs a,b∈[0,1])

HALCON equivalent: bilateral_filter (the HALCON reference is a useful guide to its meaning and parameters)

Usage

Edge-preserving smoothing (bilateral filter). Equivalent to HALCON's `bilateral_filter` (bilateral filtering of an image.).

> The detailed description below is the original text — the summary and the headings are translated.

`a が空間方向の広がり σ_s = 1.0 + 3.0a を、b が明るさ方向の許容差 σ_r = 0.05 + 0.4b を振る。近傍窓は半径 r=2(5×5)固定で a では変わらない。近傍の重みは exp(-距離²/2σ_s²) × exp(-明度差²/2σ_r²)` の積で、明度差が大きい(=エッジをまたぐ)画素は重みが小さくなるため、平滑化しつつ輪郭を保てる。窓内を Python の二重ループで回すため他の平滑化 op より遅い。
