The sharp details are identified as the difference between the original image and its blurred version. These details are then scaled, and added back to the original image. Parameters ---------- image : [P, ..., ]M[, N][, C] ndarray Input image. radius : scalar or sequence of scalars, optional If a scalar is given, then its value is used for all dimensions. If sequence is given, then there must be exactly one radius for each dimension except the last dimension for multichannel images. Note that 0 radius means no blurring, and negative values are not allowed. amount : scalar, optional The details will be amplified with this factor. The factor could be 0 or negative. Typically, it is a small positive number, e.g. 1.0. multichannel : bool, optional If True, the last ``image`` dimension is considered as a color channel, otherwise as spatial. Color channels are processed individually. preserve_range : bool, optional Whether to keep the original range of values. Otherwise, the input image is converted according to the conventions of ``img_as_float``. Also see https://scikit-image.org/docs/dev/user_guide/data_types.html Returns ------- output : [P, ..., ]M[, N][, C] ndarray of float Image with unsharp mask applied. Notes ----- Unsharp masking is an image sharpening technique. It is a linear image operation, and numerically stable, unlike deconvolution which is an ill-posed problem. Because of this stability, it is often preferred over deconvolution. The main idea is as follows: sharp details are identified as the difference between the original image and its blurred version. These details are added back to the original image after a scaling step: enhanced image = original + amount * (original - blurred) When applying this filter to several color layers independently, color bleeding may occur. More visually pleasing result can be achieved by processing only the brightness/lightness/intensity channel in a suitable color space such as HSV, HSL, YUV, or YCbCr. Unsharp masking is described in most introductory digital image processing books. This implementation is based on [1]_.
