Function

Spatial Std Dev / sigma_s

Double

10

Standard deviation of the spatial kernel (positional sigma), in pixel units (>=0). A reasonable value is 1/16 of the image dimension. Small values (1 pixel and below) will slow down filtering.

Value Std Dev / sigma_r

Double

0.3

Standard deviation of the range kernel (color sigma), in intensity units (>=0). A reasonable value is 1/10 of the intensity range. In the context of denoising, Liu et al. (“Noise estimation from a single image”, CVPR2006) recommend a value of 1.95*sigma_n, where sigma_n is the local image noise. Small values (1/256 of the intensity range and below) will slow down filtering.

Iterations / iterations

Integer

2

Number of iterations.

(Un)premult / premult

Boolean

Off

Divide the image by the alpha channel before processing, and re-multiply it afterwards. Use if the input images are premultiplied.

Invert Mask / maskInvert

Boolean

Off

When checked, the effect is fully applied where the mask is 0.

Mix / mix

Double

1

Mix factor between the original and the transformed image.
