OpenCV blur image

• blur

• Average the intensity of all the pixels in the kernel (window)

• Median - helps reduce the nois in the image

• Gaussian blur - less blurring than the average blurring, but more natural

• Increasing the ksize (kernel size) and the image will be more blurred.

original = cv.imread(filename)
cv.imshow('Original', original)

blurred = cv.blur(original, ksize=(kernel, kernel))

cv.imshow('Blurred', blurred)
