What is kernel in image?
In image processing, a kernel, convolution matrix, or mask is a small matrix used for blurring, sharpening, embossing, edge detection, and more. This is accomplished by doing a convolution between the kernel and an image.
How do you convolve a kernel with an image?
Place the center of the kernel at this (x, y)-coordinate. Take the element-wise multiplication of the input image region and the kernel, then sum up the values of these multiplication operations into a single value. The sum of these multiplications is called the kernel output.
How do you find the kernel for convolution?
The kernel needs to have the same depth as the input. You calculate the convolution of each channel in the kernel with each corresponding channel in the image. Essentially, you need to perform the 2D convolution operation three times over, and then you sum up the results to get the final kernel output.
How does convolution kernels work?
The 2D convolution is a fairly simple operation at heart: you start with a kernel, which is simply a small matrix of weights. This kernel “slides” over the 2D input data, performing an elementwise multiplication with the part of the input it is currently on, and then summing up the results into a single output pixel.
