双边滤波算法原理

双边滤波是一种非线性滤波器，它可以达到保持边缘、降噪平滑的效果。和其他滤波原理一样，双边滤波也是采用加权平均的方法，用周边像素亮度值的加权平均代表某个像素的强度，所用的加权平均基于高斯分布[1]。最重要的是，双边滤波的权重不仅考虑了像素的欧氏距离（如普通的高斯低通滤波，只考虑了位置对中心像素的影响），还考虑了像素范围域中的辐射差异（例如卷积核中像素与中心像素之间相似程度、颜色强度，深度距离等），在计算中心像素的时候同时考虑这两个权重。 公式1a,1b给出了双边滤过的操作，Iq为输入图像，Ipbf为滤波后图像：

mark下双边滤波里的两个权重域的概念：空间域（spatial domain S）和像素范围域（range domain R）,这个是它跟高斯滤波等方法的最大不同点。下面是我找到的对比说明，更好地理解双边滤波，首先是高斯滤波的情况：

然后对比再看一下双边滤波的过程：

双边滤波的核函数是空间域核与像素范围域核的综合结果：在图像的平坦区域，像素值变化很小，对应的像素范围域权重接近于1，此时空间域权重起主要作用，相当于进行高斯模糊；在图像的边缘区域，像素值变化很大，像素范围域权重变大，从而保持了边缘的信息。

为了更加形象的说明两个权重的影响，作者还给出了二维图像的直观说明:

双边滤波算法实现

在原理部分，从双边滤波的公式就可以得到该算法的实现途径。由于直接的编码实现上述过程，其时间复杂度为O(σs2) ，比较耗时，所以后来出现了一些改进算法，比较经典的有：论文《Fast O(1) bilateral filtering using trigonometric range kernels》，提出了用Raised cosines函数来逼近高斯值域函数，并利用一些特性把值域函数分解为一些列函数的叠加，从而实现函数的加速[5，8]。
这里只对原始方法进行实现，从而有助于更加清楚的了解算法的原理。

matlab实现方法，这里也附一下核心代码：
 

function output = bilateralFilter( data, edge, sigmaSpatial, sigmaRange, ...samplingSpatial, samplingRange )if ~exist( 'edge', 'var' ),edge = data;
endinputHeight = size( data, 1 );
inputWidth = size( data, 2 );if ~exist( 'sigmaSpatial', 'var' ),sigmaSpatial = min( inputWidth, inputHeight ) / 16;
endedgeMin = min( edge( : ) );
edgeMax = max( edge( : ) );
edgeDelta = edgeMax - edgeMin;if ~exist( 'sigmaRange', 'var' ),sigmaRange = 0.1 * edgeDelta;
endif ~exist( 'samplingSpatial', 'var' ),samplingSpatial = sigmaSpatial;
endif ~exist( 'samplingRange', 'var' ),samplingRange = sigmaRange;
endif size( data ) ~= size( edge ),error( 'data and edge must be of the same size' );
end% parameters
derivedSigmaSpatial = sigmaSpatial / samplingSpatial;
derivedSigmaRange = sigmaRange / samplingRange;paddingXY = floor( 2 * derivedSigmaSpatial ) + 1;
paddingZ = floor( 2 * derivedSigmaRange ) + 1;% allocate 3D grid
downsampledWidth = floor( ( inputWidth - 1 ) / samplingSpatial ) + 1 + 2 * paddingXY;
downsampledHeight = floor( ( inputHeight - 1 ) / samplingSpatial ) + 1 + 2 * paddingXY;
downsampledDepth = floor( edgeDelta / samplingRange ) + 1 + 2 * paddingZ;gridData = zeros( downsampledHeight, downsampledWidth, downsampledDepth );
gridWeights = zeros( downsampledHeight, downsampledWidth, downsampledDepth );% compute downsampled indices
[ jj, ii ] = meshgrid( 0 : inputWidth - 1, 0 : inputHeight - 1 );di = round( ii / samplingSpatial ) + paddingXY + 1;
dj = round( jj / samplingSpatial ) + paddingXY + 1;
dz = round( ( edge - edgeMin ) / samplingRange ) + paddingZ + 1;% perform scatter (there's probably a faster way than this)
% normally would do downsampledWeights( di, dj, dk ) = 1, but we have to
% perform a summation to do box downsampling
for k = 1 : numel( dz ),dataZ = data( k ); % traverses the image column wise, same as di( k )if ~isnan( dataZ  ),dik = di( k );djk = dj( k );dzk = dz( k );gridData( dik, djk, dzk ) = gridData( dik, djk, dzk ) + dataZ;gridWeights( dik, djk, dzk ) = gridWeights( dik, djk, dzk ) + 1;end
end% make gaussian kernel
kernelWidth = 2 * derivedSigmaSpatial + 1;
kernelHeight = kernelWidth;
kernelDepth = 2 * derivedSigmaRange + 1;halfKernelWidth = floor( kernelWidth / 2 );
halfKernelHeight = floor( kernelHeight / 2 );
halfKernelDepth = floor( kernelDepth / 2 );[gridX, gridY, gridZ] = meshgrid( 0 : kernelWidth - 1, 0 : kernelHeight - 1, 0 : kernelDepth - 1 );
gridX = gridX - halfKernelWidth;
gridY = gridY - halfKernelHeight;
gridZ = gridZ - halfKernelDepth;
gridRSquared = ( gridX .* gridX + gridY .* gridY ) / ( derivedSigmaSpatial * derivedSigmaSpatial ) + ( gridZ .* gridZ ) / ( derivedSigmaRange * derivedSigmaRange );
kernel = exp( -0.5 * gridRSquared );% convolve
blurredGridData = convn( gridData, kernel, 'same' );
blurredGridWeights = convn( gridWeights, kernel, 'same' );% divide
blurredGridWeights( blurredGridWeights == 0 ) = -2; % avoid divide by 0, won't read there anyway
normalizedBlurredGrid = blurredGridData ./ blurredGridWeights;
normalizedBlurredGrid( blurredGridWeights < -1 ) = 0; % put 0s where it's undefined
blurredGridWeights( blurredGridWeights < -1 ) = 0; % put zeros back% upsample
[ jj, ii ] = meshgrid( 0 : inputWidth - 1, 0 : inputHeight - 1 ); % meshgrid does x, then y, so output arguments need to be reversed
% no rounding
di = ( ii / samplingSpatial ) + paddingXY + 1;
dj = ( jj / samplingSpatial ) + paddingXY + 1;
dz = ( edge - edgeMin ) / samplingRange + paddingZ + 1;% interpn takes rows, then cols, etc
% i.e. size(v,1), then size(v,2), ...
output = interpn( normalizedBlurredGrid, di, dj, dz );
