First color film - 1902

• Captured by Edward Raymond Turner

• Predates Prokudin-Gorskii collection

• Like Prokudin-Gorskii, it was an additive 3-color system.

• Never successfully commercialized

A gallery of filters

• Box filter – Simple and cheap

• Tent filter – Linear interpolation

• Gaussian filter – Very smooth antialiasing filter

• B-spline cubic – Very smooth

Yucky details

• What about near the edge? – the filter window falls off the edge of the image

– need to extrapolate

– methods:

• clip filter (black)

• wrap around

• copy edge

• reflect across edge

• vary filter near edge

Median filters

• A Median Filter operates over a window by selecting the median intensity in the window.

• What advantage does a median filter have over a mean filter?

• Is a median filter a kind of convolution?
