4.9 Convolver
4.9.1 Functionality
The "Convolver" is a discrete 2D-convolution filter with a 3x3 convolution kernel. The kernel
coefficients can be user-defined.
The M x N discrete 2D-convolution p
(x,y) of pixel p
(x,y) with convolution kernel h, scale s
out
in
and offset o is defined in Fig. 4.52.

4.9.2 Settings
The following settings for the parameters are available:
Offset Offset value o (see Fig. 4.52). Range: -4096 ... 4095
Scale Scaling divisor s (see Fig. 4.52). Range: 1 ... 4095
Coefficients Coefficients of convolution kernel h (see Fig. 4.52). Range: -4096 ... 4095.
Assignment to coefficient properties is shown in Fig. 4.53.

4.9.3 Examples
Fig. 4.54 shows the result of the application of various standard convolver settings to the
original image. shows the corresponding settings for every filter.
A filter called Unsharp Mask is often used to enhance near infrared images. Fig. 4.56 shows
examples with the corresponding settings.
