Using JAX, numpy, and optimization techniques to improve separable image filters

Posted on March 15, 2020 by

In today’s blog post I will look at two topics: how to use JAX (“hyped” new Python ML / autodifferentiation library), and a basic application that is follow-up to my previous blog post on using SVD for low-rank approximations and … Continue reading →

Separate your filters! Separability, SVD and low-rank approximation of 2D image processing filters

Posted on February 3, 2020 by

In this blog post, I explore separable convolutional image filters: how can we check if a 2D filter is separable, and how to compute separable approximations to any arbitrary 2D filter represented in a numerical / matrix form using SVD. Continue reading →
