Etymology

Returns a vector from a smoothing kernel specification.

Synopsis

This class takes a smoothing kernel type and a width, and generates a Vector holding that kernel. It can be used in conjunction with the separable image convolver, SepImageConvolver

The kernels can be normalized so that the peak of the kernel is 1, or 1/area under the kernel. The latter ensures conservation of integrated pixel value (the usual jargon is conservation of flux for images) and is the default.

Create kernel vector for width in pixels.

For Gaussian, width is FWHM, for Boxcar, width is full width. For Hanning width is ignored. If useShapeExactly is True, the provided shape is used exactly. If useShapeExactly is False, the kernel length will be the max of the provided shape and an autoestimate (e.g. from +/- 5sigma limits for a Gaussian).

static

  Helper function to convert a string containing a list of desired smoothed kernel types

to the correct Vector<Int> required for the setSmooth function.

This may be usful if your user interface involves strings rather than integers. A new value is added to the output vector (which is resized appropriately) if any of the substrings "boxcar", "gaussian" or "hanning" (actually "box", "gauss", and "hann" will do) is present.
