# ExponentialFilter2d

Smooths an image using a kernel based on an exponential distribution.
Access to parameter description
This algorithm performs a 2D smoothing filter whose impulse response is an exponential function. $$ f(x,y) = e^{-\alpha x^2}e^{ -\alpha y^2 } $$ Where:

- $x$ and $y$ represent the offsets from the pixel to process.
- $ \alpha $ is a sharpness factor. Low values produce high level of smoothing.

This filter is very close to a Gaussian filter. The main difference is the alpha coefficient, which has an inverse behavior compared to a Gaussian standard deviation.
The filtered image can be normalized by dividing the output gray levels by the sum of absolute values of the kernel coefficients. If not, overflows might occur.

| input_image | The input image. | image | Binary, Label, Grayscale or Multispectral | None
| alpha_factor | The alpha factor. The lower this value, the smoother the result. This value must be greater than 0. Practically, this filter response is a mostly visible in the [0.3, 5.3] range. | float64 | >0 | 0.125
| kernel_size | The size of the kernel. | vector2i32 | >0 | [9, 9]
| auto_scale | The automatic intensity scaling mode.
NO | The result is not normalized; it corresponds to the weighted sum of the window elements.
YES | The result is automatically normalized by the sum of the kernel weights.
| enumeration |  | YES
| output_image | The output image. Its dimensions are forced to the same values as the input. Its data type is promoted to avoid overflows in the non-normalized mode. | image |  | None
