[Numpy-discussion] Bilateral filter: bug corrected

2009-02-12 Thread Nadav Horesh
Attached here a code for bilateral filter: 1. The code is composed of a cython back end (bilateral_base.pyx) and a python front end (bilateral.py) 2. I do not have the tools to make windows binaries (I run it on gentoo linux) . 3. It is not hard to strip the cython code to get a pure (and slow)
