Description [src]
Approximate separable integer convolution. This is a low-level operation, see
vips_convsep() for something more convenient.
The image is convolved twice: once with mask and then again with mask
rotated by 90 degrees.
mask must be 1xn or nx1 elements.
Elements of mask are converted to
integers before convolution.
Larger values for layers give more accurate
results, but are slower. As layers approaches the mask radius, the
accuracy will become close to exact convolution and the speed will drop to
match. For many large masks, such as Gaussian, layers need be only 10% of
this value and accuracy will still be good.
The output image
always has the same VipsBandFormat as the input image.
