MaxFilter

MaxFilter
filters image by replacing every value by the maximum in its range r neighborhood.
MaxFilter
applies max filtering to an array of data.
MORE INFORMATION
  • MaxFilter finds the maximum in × blocks centered on each pixel.
  • At the edges of an image, MaxFilter uses smaller neighborhoods.
  • MaxFilter uses neighborhoods with vertical range and horizontal range .
  • For multichannel images, MaxFilter replaces each pixel by a pixel in its neighborhood that has the maximum total intensity, averaged over all channels.
  • In MaxFilter, data can be an array of any rank.
