eliminate_sp — 2D rank op

• Data kinds: image → image

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

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

Usage

Noise suppression via a sigma filter (Lee-type). Re-averages using only pixels within the window whose difference from the window mean is below a threshold (0.05-0.4, set by b), removing the influence of extreme outlier pixels (such as salt-and-pepper noise). If no pixel in the window qualifies, the original value is returned unchanged. a sets the window size to 3/5/7/9.
