GeometricMeanFilter

GeometricMeanFilter[data,r]

filters data by replacing every value by the geometric mean value in its range-r neighborhood.

GeometricMeanFilter[data,{r1,r2,}]

uses ri for filtering the ^(th)dimension in data.

Details

  • GeometricMeanFilter is used to locally smooth data by using geometric mean as opposed to arithmetic mean, where the amount of smoothing is dependent on the value of r.
  • The function applied to each range-r neighborhood is GeometricMean.
  • The data can be any of the following:
  • listarbitrary-rank numerical array
    tseriestemporal data such as TimeSeries, TemporalData,
    imagearbitrary Image or Image3D object
    audioan Audio object
  • For multichannel images and audio signals, GeometricMeanFilter operates separately on each channel.
  • GeometricMeanFilter[data,{r1,r2,}] computes the geometric mean value in blocks centered on each sample.
  • GeometricMeanFilter assumes the index coordinate system for lists and images.
  • At the data boundaries, GeometricMeanFilter uses smaller neighborhoods.
