Convolution Filters

Convolution filters

Motion was a convolution.

This is called, again, the convolution of the image.

Measurements were implemented using products, and motions using a convolution.

The process of moving those beliefs to the right side is technically called a convolution.

In this update we'll use total probability, which is a convolution, or simply an addition.

And so is the sum, and the convolution operation itself is often called the linear operation.

You might remember that one of the two steps, measurement or motion, required a convolution and the other one a product.

If you dive into the math of convolution, you'll find that convolution is associative, so you could apply this one to the image and then this one over here, or you can combine these 2 guys over here into a Gaussian gradient kernel and apply this Gaussian gradient kernel to the image.

And you saw Ty's little evolutionary example where he sort of did a little bit of evolution on the Convolution program right before your eyes.

That's called a convolution, and as well see later, there's a very nice way to write this mathematically as something called Theorem of Total Probability.

For example, if you're analyzing neighborhoods of images then image processing is the canonical technique to be used and linear filtering, convolution, and so on.

Select here the filter name for the resize image process. This filter will be used like a kernel convolution process during the increased image size rendering.

So think about this, as it's a little bit nontrivial, but it's going to be important as we go forward and define probabilistic convolution and generalize this to the noisy case.

You learned about Gaussians, how to do measurement updates using multiplication, how to do prediction or state transitions using convolution, and you even implemented your first Kalman filter, which is really super cool.

This is the radius of the circular convolution. It is the most important parameter for using this plugin. For most images the default value of 1.0 should give good results. Select a higher value when your image is very blurred.

After that, we'll go through basic image processing operations, linear filtering, convolution and so on, because this is the basis for edge detection and finding boundaries, as well as the measurement of various image features which would be useful for recognition.

The story progresses by the robot taking an action to the right, and this is now the next state prediction part, the what we call convolution part or state transition part, where these little bumps over here get shifted along with the robot and they are flattened out a little bit just because robot motion has used uncertainty.
