hello
I was wondering if this filter is available in gmic ?

Yes it is.
See https://gmic.eu/reference.shtml and search for “Kaiming”
in the plug in it is under Repair > [Smooth] Guided
great.thanks Iain
well a few questions arise
about regularisation :
I’m refering to this implementation
I’m working around feathering (matting)
int r = 60;
double eps = 1e-6;
eps *= 255 * 255; // Because the intensity range of our images is [0, 255]
how exactly should I consider the regularization value in gmic’s implementation ?
should I work in [0,1] range while filtering ?
It depends on the image and its content and range. I usually use a very small value for my tasks. Also see: G'MIC exercises - #127 by garagecoder.
the strange thing is that after filtering the maximum values in the image are growing.
like for a 0-255 input image (png) i have a 270 max value.
should I [cut 0,255] or normalize 0,255 ?
last time I checked, the guided filter in gmic did not allow to select a channel as a guide… do I remember correctly? if so, would it be possible to allow this? thanks!
this is the command i’m using
gmic image.png guide.png -to_colormode[1] 1 -div 255 -guided[0] [1],$GUIDEDRADIUS,$GUIDEDREGULARIZATION -normalize 0,255 -o[0] result.png
in the gimp version you can’t use a guide
that’s what I meant, yes… any gmic guru willing to add this?
-div 0,255 is in fact useless
cut 0,255 seems to be the way to go otherwise whites becomes gray …
Please include examples so that we can address your problem more directly. Remarks:
– When there is no guide, G’MIC uses the input image as its own guide.
– Generally, cut 0,255 is a good idea, or normalize 0,255, but the latter would flatten the image. I may deal with the overshoots directly; however, that is an advanced topic.
