History:	This plugin was implemented in July 2005
Works with:	8-bit images (grayscale and indexed) and RGB images
ImageJ's version:	1.33u (used to develop this plugin)
Source:	Filtering_Framework.zip

Description:	This plugin implements a framework for filtering images in the spatial domain. It allows making spatial convolution of the image to filter with a given mask (kernel). The convolution between an input image f and a spatial mask h is defined as follows: where M and N are the width and the height of the image. User can choose one of the standard filters or insert his/her favourite kernel. This plugin is based on ConvolverMod_.java plugin, a variation of ImageJ's command Convolve....
Usage:	Here is a brief description: 1) Choose a standard filter using the combo box; 2) You can view the kernel corresponding to the selected standard filter by clicking on the button "View Mask"; 3) Click on the button "Preview" to view as the image would be if it was processed according to the chosen filter; 4) Also the possibility to enter a different kernel and view the corresponding convolution is provided by clicking on the button "Insert Mask & Convolve"; 5) Click on the button "Apply" to definitively apply the current filtering to the image; 6) Click on the button "Help & Info" to view some information about this plugin.
