Description

simulate_motionsimulate_motionSimulateMotionSimulateMotionsimulate_motion simulates blurring caused by a relative motion between the object and the camera during exposure. The simulated motion moves along an even. AngleAngleAngleangleangle fixes its direction by specifying the angle between the motion direction and the x-axis (anticlockwise, measured in degrees). Simulation is done by a convolution of the image with a blurring specific impulse response. The convolution is realized by multiplication in the Fourier domain. simulate_motionsimulate_motionSimulateMotionSimulateMotionsimulate_motion offers five prototypes of impulse responses conforming to different acceleration behaviors. TypeTypeTypetypetype allows to choose one of the following PSF prototypes:

  1. reverse ramp (crude model for acceleration)

  2. reverse trapezoid (crude model for high acceleration)

  3. square pulse (exact model for constant velocity), this is default

  4. forward trapezoid (crude model for deceleration)

  5. forward ramp (crude model for high deceleration)

(default value is 3.)

The simulated blurring affects all part of the image uniformly. BlurringBlurringBlurringblurringblurring controls the extent of blurring. It specifies the number of pixels (lying one after another) that are affected by the blurring. This number is determined by velocity of the motion and exposure time. If BlurringBlurringBlurringblurringblurring is a negative number, an adequate blurring in reverse direction is simulated. If AngleAngleAngleangleangle is a negative number, it is interpreted clockwise. If AngleAngleAngleangleangle exceeds 360 or falls below -360, it is transformed modulo(360) in an adequate number between [0..360] resp. [-360..0].

Execution Information

  • Multithreading type: reentrant (runs in parallel with non-exclusive operators).
  • Multithreading scope: global (may be called from any thread).
  • Automatically parallelized on tuple level.
  • Automatically parallelized on channel level.
