Class GaussianBlurBlock

Namespace
VisioForge.Core.MediaBlocks.VideoProcessing
Assembly
VisioForge.Core.dll

MediaBlock that applies Gaussian blur or sharpening effects to video. Gaussian blur is a widely used image processing technique that reduces noise and detail by averaging neighboring pixels using a Gaussian distribution. Positive sigma values create blur effects, while negative values create sharpening effects. This filter is commonly used for creating artistic blur effects, privacy masking, or image enhancement. Implements the VisioForge.Core.MediaBlocks.MediaBlock. Implements the VisioForge.Core.MediaBlocks.IMediaBlockInternals. Implements the IDisposable.

Constructors

GaussianBlurBlock(double)

Initializes a new instance of the VisioForge.Core.MediaBlocks.VideoProcessing.GaussianBlurBlock class with the specified sigma value.

public GaussianBlurBlock(double sigma = 1.2)

Parameters

sigma double

The sigma value controlling blur intensity. Default value is 1.2. Positive values blur, negative values sharpen.

Properties

Input

Gets the input.

public override MediaBlockPad Input { get; }

Property Value

MediaBlockPad

Inputs

Gets the inputs.

public override MediaBlockPad[] Inputs { get; }

Property Value

MediaBlockPad[]

Output

Gets the output.

public override MediaBlockPad Output { get; }

Property Value

MediaBlockPad

Outputs

Gets the outputs.

public override MediaBlockPad[] Outputs { get; }

Property Value

MediaBlockPad[]

Sigma

Gets or sets the sigma value that controls the blur intensity and direction. Positive values create blur effects (larger values = more blur), negative values create sharpening effects. Default value is 1.2. Typical range is -3.0 to 10.0.

public double Sigma { get; set; }

Property Value

double

Type

Gets the type.

public override MediaBlockType Type { get; }

Property Value

MediaBlockType

Methods

Build()

Constructs and initializes the Gaussian blur filter and its associated GStreamer elements. This method creates the filter with the specified sigma value, establishes input and output pads, and prepares the block for video blur or sharpening processing.

public override bool Build()

Returns

bool

true if the filter was successfully built and configured; false if initialization failed.

CleanUp()

Releases all resources and performs cleanup operations for this Gaussian blur block. This method disposes of the GStreamer elements and resets the build state.

public void CleanUp()

Dispose(bool)

Releases unmanaged and - optionally - managed resources.

protected override void Dispose(bool disposing)

Parameters

disposing bool

true to release both managed and unmanaged resources; false to release only unmanaged resources.

GetCore()

Gets the core BaseElement wrapper that provides additional functionality around the GStreamer Gaussian blur filter element.

public BaseElement GetCore()

Returns

BaseElement

The BaseElement wrapper instance that encapsulates the GStreamer Gaussian blur filter.

GetElement()

Gets the underlying GStreamer element that performs the Gaussian blur or sharpening processing.

public Element GetElement()

Returns

Element

The GStreamer Element instance representing the Gaussian blur filter.

IsAvailable()

Determines whether the Gaussian blur filter is available on the current system. This checks if the required GStreamer video processing plugins are installed and accessible. The correct NuGet SDK redistribution package should be included in your project.

public static bool IsAvailable()

Returns

bool

true if the Gaussian blur filter is available and can be used; otherwise, false.

IMediaBlockInternals.SetContext(MediaBlocksPipeline)

Associates this Gaussian blur block with a pipeline and initializes its internal context. This method is called internally when the block is added to a pipeline.

void IMediaBlockInternals.SetContext(MediaBlocksPipeline pipeline)

Parameters

pipeline MediaBlocksPipeline

The MediaBlocksPipeline instance that will manage this block.
