cv_sharpen — 2D smoothing op

Data kinds: imageimage

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

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

Usage

An unsharp-mask-like sharpening filter (3x3 kernel convolution, OpenCV implementation). Convolves with a kernel whose center is `1+4a and whose top/bottom/left/right neighbors are -a` (at a=0 this is the identity kernel = no change; the larger a is, the stronger the discrete-Laplacian-like high-frequency boost), lifting the contrast near edges.

HALCON の emphasize(Enhance contrast of the image.)に相当(近似)。実装は `cv2.filter2D(v, kernel)[0,1]` へ clip したもの —— a はカーネルの強さ(鮮鋭化の度合い)を 0〜1 に振る。b は未使用。
