In this work we present a new algorithm for accelerating the colour bilateral filter based on a subsampling strategy working in the spatial domain. The base idea is to use a suitable subset of samples of the entire kernel in order to obtain a good estimation of the exact filter values. The main advantages of the proposed approach are that it has an excellent trade-off between visual quality and speed-up, a very low memory overhead is required and it is straightforward to implement on the GPU allowing real-time filtering. We show different applications of the proposed filter, in particular efficient cross-bilateral filtering, real-time edge-aware image editing and fast video denoising. We compare our method against the state of the art in terms of image quality, time performance and memory usage.

Abstract
In this work we present a new algorithm for accelerating the colour bilateral filter based on a subsampling strategy working in the spatial domain. The base idea is to use a suitable subset of samples of the entire kernel in order to obtain a good estimation of the exact filter values. The main advantages of the proposed approach are that it has an excellent trade-off between visual quality and speed-up, a very low memory overhead is required and it is straightforward to implement on the GPU allowing real-time filtering. We show different applications of the proposed filter, in particular efficient cross-bilateral filtering, real-time edge-aware image editing and fast video denoising. We compare our method against the state of the art in terms of image quality, time performance and memory usage.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
