Well this sucks. It looks like the scant memory on the Raspberry Pi 3B causes problems trying to compile scipy. Look at what's required—yipes.
So I thought, I'll just find a way of doing this with just numpy. And that died with a memory error while trying to do a simple array copy of an 120K image file. Grr...
Anyway, does anyone have a good-looking 3x3 convolution kernel matrix for Gaussian blur which looks like a webkit 3x blur or a Gimp 10-pixel blur?
Currently, I'm applying this three times and it kind of looks trashy after the third iteration.
0, 0.5, 0
0.5, -1, 0.5
0, 0.5, 0
With only one iteration, it's barely blurred. The Jimp library I'm using doesn't seem to have a way of dividing all values post-apply with the matrix sum, unfortunately. I tried a 5x5 matrix version but I'd need to play with it more to get it right.
Alright... well this one (applied three times) looks better at least.
