Having trouble calculating the correct Gaussian Kernel values from the Gaussian function formula

I'm having trouble calculating the same values for a Gaussian filter kernel as those derived in the Canny edge detector Wikipedia page It states: The equation for a Gaussian filter kernel of size (2k+1)x(2k+1) is given by: $$ H_{i,j} = \frac {1}…

How to overcome effect of intensity variation in image processing?

I want to process an image for which I need the method to be robust to lighting conditions. For that the only thing I can think of is normalising intensity. I did this by dividing the image with average intensity and then scaled the values to be…
