TLDR

Apply convolution matrix

$ pnmconvol [matrix.pgm] [input.pnm] > [output.pnm]
copy
Create blur effect
$ pnmconvol -matrix=[1,1,1;1,1,1;1,1,1] [input.pnm] > [output.pnm]
copy
Edge detection

SYNOPSIS

pnmconvol [options] convolution input

DESCRIPTION

pnmconvol applies convolution matrix filters to PNM images for effects like blurring, sharpening, and edge detection. The convolution kernel can be specified as a PGM file or inline with the -matrix option.
Each output pixel is computed as the weighted sum of surrounding input pixels according to the kernel values. Part of the Netpbm toolkit for image processing.

PARAMETERS

CONVOLUTION

Matrix file or specification.
INPUT
Input PNM file.
-matrix SPEC
Inline matrix.
-normalize
Normalize output.
--help
Display help.

CAVEATS

Part of Netpbm. Matrix defines effect. Slow for large kernels.

HISTORY

pnmconvol is part of Netpbm for convolution operations.
