imgaug.augmenters.blur

Augmenters that blur images.

Do not import directly from this file, as the categorization is not final. Use instead

from imgaug import augmenters as iaa

and then e.g.

seq = iaa.Sequential([
    iaa.GaussianBlur((0.0, 3.0)),
    iaa.AverageBlur((2, 5))
])

class imgaug.augmenters.blur.AverageBlur(k=1, name=None, deterministic=False, random_state=None)[source]

Bases: imgaug.augmenters.meta.Augmenter

Blur an image by computing simple means over neighbourhoods.

The padding behaviour around the image borders is cv2’s BORDER_REFLECT_101.

- (2) loss of resolution in ``cv2.blur()`` (result is ``int32``)
- (3) ``int8`` is mapped internally to ``int16``, ``int8`` itself
      leads to cv2 error "Unsupported combination of source format
      (=1), and buffer format (=4) in function 'getRowSumFilter'" in

Parameters:
  • k (int or tuple of int or tuple of tuple of int or imgaug.parameters.StochasticParameter or tuple of StochasticParameter, optional) –

    Kernel size to use.

    • If a single int, then that value will be used for the height and width of the kernel.
    • If a tuple of two int s (a, b), then the kernel size will be sampled from the interval [a..b].
    • If a tuple of two tuples of int s ((a, b), (c, d)), then per image a random kernel height will be sampled from the interval [a..b] and a random kernel width will be sampled from the interval [c..d].
    • If a StochasticParameter, then N samples will be drawn from that parameter per N input images, each representing the kernel size for the n-th image.
    • If a tuple (a, b), where either a or b is a tuple, then a and b will be treated according to the rules above. This leads to different values for height and width of the kernel.
  • name (None or str, optional) – See imgaug.augmenters.meta.Augmenter.__init__().

  • deterministic (bool, optional) – See imgaug.augmenters.meta.Augmenter.__init__().

  • random_state (None or int or imgaug.random.RNG or numpy.random.Generator or numpy.random.bit_generator.BitGenerator or numpy.random.SeedSequence or numpy.random.RandomState, optional) – See imgaug.augmenters.meta.Augmenter.__init__().

class imgaug.augmenters.blur.BilateralBlur(d=1, sigma_color=(10, 250), sigma_space=(10, 250), name=None, deterministic=False, random_state=None)[source]

Bases: imgaug.augmenters.meta.Augmenter

Blur/Denoise an image using a bilateral filter.

Bilateral filters blur homogenous and textured areas, while trying to preserve edges.

See http://docs.opencv.org/2.4/modules/imgproc/doc/filtering.html#bilateralfilter for more information regarding the parameters.

* ``bool``: ?
Parameters:
  • d (int or tuple of int or list of int or imgaug.parameters.StochasticParameter, optional) – Diameter of each pixel neighborhood with value range [1 .. inf). High values for d lead to significantly worse performance. Values equal or less than 10 seem to be good. Use <5 for real-time applications.

    • If a single int, then that value will be used for the diameter.
    • If a tuple of two int s (a, b), then the diameter will be a value sampled from the interval [a..b].
    • If a list, then a random value will be sampled from that list per image.
    • If a StochasticParameter, then N samples will be drawn from that parameter per N input images, each representing the diameter for the n-th image. Expected to be discrete.
  • sigma_color (number or tuple of number or list of number or imgaug.parameters.StochasticParameter, optional) – Filter sigma in the color space with value range [1, inf). A large value of the parameter means that farther colors within the pixel neighborhood (see sigma_space) will be mixed together, resulting in larger areas of semi-equal color.

    • If a single int, then that value will be used for the diameter.
    • If a tuple of two int s (a, b), then the diameter will be a value sampled from the interval [a, b].
    • If a list, then a random value will be sampled from that list per image.
    • If a StochasticParameter, then N samples will be drawn from that parameter per N input images, each representing the diameter for the n-th image. Expected to be discrete.
  • sigma_space (number or tuple of number or list of number or imgaug.parameters.StochasticParameter, optional) – Filter sigma in the coordinate space with value range [1, inf). A large value of the parameter means that farther pixels will influence each other as long as their colors are close enough (see sigma_color).

    • If a single int, then that value will be used for the diameter.
    • If a tuple of two int s (a, b), then the diameter will be a value sampled from the interval [a, b].
    • If a list, then a random value will be sampled from that list per image.
    • If a StochasticParameter, then N samples will be drawn from that parameter per N input images, each representing the diameter for the n-th image. Expected to be discrete.
  • name (None or str, optional) – See imgaug.augmenters.meta.Augmenter.__init__().

  • deterministic (bool, optional) – See imgaug.augmenters.meta.Augmenter.__init__().

  • random_state (None or int or imgaug.random.RNG or numpy.random.Generator or numpy.random.bit_generator.BitGenerator or numpy.random.SeedSequence or numpy.random.RandomState, optional) – See imgaug.augmenters.meta.Augmenter.__init__().

Bases: imgaug.augmenters.convolutional.Convolve

Blur images in a way that fakes camera or object movements.

dtype support:

See ``imgaug.augmenters.convolutional.Convolve``.
Parameters:
  • k (int or tuple of int or list of int or imgaug.parameters.StochasticParameter, optional) –

    Kernel size to use.

    • If a single int, then that value will be used for the height and width of the kernel.
    • If a tuple of two int s (a, b), then the kernel size will be sampled from the interval [a..b].
    • If a list, then a random value will be sampled from that list per image.
    • If a StochasticParameter, then N samples will be drawn from that parameter per N input images, each representing the kernel size for the n-th image.
  • angle (number or tuple of number or list of number or imgaug.parameters.StochasticParameter, optional) – Angle of the motion blur in degrees (clockwise, relative to top center direction).

    • If a number, exactly that value will be used.
    • If a tuple (a, b), a random value from the interval [a, b] will be uniformly sampled per image.
    • If a list, then a random value will be sampled from that list per image.
    • If a StochasticParameter, a value will be sampled from the parameter per image.
  • direction (number or tuple of number or list of number or imgaug.parameters.StochasticParameter, optional) – Forward/backward direction of the motion blur. Lower values towards -1.0 will point the motion blur towards the back (with angle provided via angle). Higher values towards 1.0 will point the motion blur forward. A value of 0.0 leads to a uniformly (but still angled) motion blur.

    • If a number, exactly that value will be used.
    • If a tuple (a, b), a random value from the interval [a, b] will be uniformly sampled per image.
    • If a list, then a random value will be sampled from that list per image.
    • If a StochasticParameter, a value will be sampled from the parameter per image.
  • order (int or iterable of int or imgaug.ALL or imgaug.parameters.StochasticParameter, optional) – Interpolation order to use when rotating the kernel according to angle. See imgaug.augmenters.geometric.Affine.__init__(). Recommended to be 0 or 1, with 0 being faster, but less continuous/smooth as angle is changed, particularly around multiple of 45 degrees.

  • name (None or str, optional) – See imgaug.augmenters.meta.Augmenter.__init__().

  • deterministic (bool, optional) – See imgaug.augmenters.meta.Augmenter.__init__().

  • random_state (None or int or imgaug.random.RNG or numpy.random.Generator or numpy.random.bit_generator.BitGenerator or numpy.random.SeedSequence or numpy.random.RandomState, optional) – See imgaug.augmenters.meta.Augmenter.__init__().

Examples

>>> import imgaug.augmenters as iaa
>>> aug = iaa.MotionBlur(k=15)

Parameters:
  • image (numpy.ndarray) – The image to blur. Expected to be of shape (H, W) or (H, W, C).
  • sigma (number) – Standard deviation of the gaussian blur. Larger numbers result in more large-scale blurring, which is overall slower than small-scale blurring.
  • ksize (None or int, optional) – Size in height/width of the gaussian kernel. This argument is only understood by the cv2 backend. If it is set to None, an appropriate value for ksize will automatically be derived from sigma. The value is chosen tighter for larger sigmas to avoid as much as possible very large kernel sizes and therey improve performance.
  • backend ({‘auto’, ‘cv2’, ‘scipy’}, optional) – Backend library to use. If auto, then the likely best library will be automatically picked per image. That is usually equivalent to cv2 (OpenCV) and it will fall back to scipy for datatypes not supported by OpenCV.
  • eps (number, optional) – A threshold used to decide whether sigma can be considered zero.
Returns:

image – The blurred image. Same shape and dtype as the input.

Return type:

numpy.ndarray
