With the R2015a release a couple of years ago, the Image Processing Toolbox added the function imgaussfilt. This function performs 2-D Gaussian filtering on images. It features a heuristic that automatically switches between a spatial-domain implementation and a frequency-domain implementation.... read more >>

Today I'll try to wrap up my discussion about how aliasing affects image resizing and about how the imresize function tries to prevent it. (This is called antialiasing.) Let me show you where we are going. Here is the zone plate image I showed last time.... read more >>

In my 03-Jan-2017 post, I introduced my new topic: aliasing, especially as it relates to resizing images. Today I will get more specific about what aliasing actually is.... read more >>

Earlier this summer, I was writing some color-space conversion code. At one point in the code, I had a Px3 matrix called RGB, which contained P colors, one per row. I also had a 1x3 vector, v. I needed to multiply each column of RGB by the corresponding element of... read more >>

Intrepid MathWorks application engineer Brett Shoelson recently got a user question that caught my attention. Consider an image containing text characters in outline form, such as this:... read more >>

Because I work regularly with developers on the MATLAB Math team, I see the questions that come to them from tech support. Today there was an interesting one.... read more >>

As I mentioned last time, MATLAB Central is celebrating its 15th anniversary. You should head on over there to try one of the two contests, the Scavenger Hunt and the Triathlon. Or compete in both!... read more >>

As Ned Gulley posted over on the MATLAB Community blog last week, MATLAB Central is 15 years old.... read more >>
