What effect does the 3×3 averaging kernel have on an image?

Choose one option.

Show answer
  • C. Smoothing

Explanation

Averaging neighbors spreads intensity and blurs details, which is smoothing. Edges require derivative kernels.

Review the concept: 2D convolution on images

2D convolution is the operation that combines an image \(f(x,y)\) with a kernel \(h(x,y)\) by sliding the kernel and summing products at each position.

\[(f*h)[m,n]=\sum_{k}\sum_{l} f[k,l]\,h[m-k,n-l]\]
