sk_nlm — 2D smoothing op

Data kinds: imageimage

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

Usage

Non-local means denoising. Searches the entire image, not just nearby pixels, for similar patches and averages them -- the difference from simple smoothing is that it can remove noise only in flat areas while preserving repeating patterns and textures.

HALCON に直接対応するものは無い。実装は `restoration.denoise_nl_means(v, patch_size=5, h=0.02+0.2*a)` —— a はカットオフ距離 h(大きいほど「似ている」と判定される範囲が広がり、強くノイズ除去される代わりにディテールも失われやすい)を 0.02〜0.22 に振る。パッチサイズは 5x5 に固定。b は未使用。
