Applies the arithmetic midpoint filter to an image.

Remarks

In the midpoint method, the color value of each pixel is replaced with the average of maximum and minimum (i.e. the midpoint) of color values of the pixels in a surrounding region. A larger region (filter size) yields a stronger effect.

Example

This C#/VB.NET code shows how to load an image from disk, apply the arithmetic midpoint filter to the image and save the result to a new image file.
