================
Bilateral Filter
================

Bilateral Filter example resides in ``L2/examples/bilateralfilter`` directory.

This benchmark tests the performance of `bilateralfilter` function. To preserve the edges while smoothing, a bilateral filter can be used. In an analogous way as the Gaussian filter, the bilateral filter also considers the neighboring pixels with weights assigned to each of them. 

The tutorial provides a step-by-step guide that covers commands for building and running kernel.

Executable Usage
================

* **Work Directory(Step 1)**

The steps for library download and environment setup can be found in README of L2 folder. For getting the design,

.. code-block:: bash

   cd L2/examples/bilateralfilter

* **Build kernel(Step 2)**

Run the following make command to build your XCLBIN and host binary targeting a specific device. Please be noticed that this process will take a long time, maybe couple of hours.

.. code-block:: bash

   export OPENCV_INCLUDE=< path-to-opencv-include-folder >
   export OPENCV_LIB=< path-to-opencv-lib-folder >
   export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:< path-to-opencv-lib-folder > 
   export DEVICE=< path-to-platform-directory >/< platform >.xpfm
   make host xclbin TARGET=hw


* **Run kernel(Step 3)**

To get the benchmark results, please run the following command.

.. code-block:: bash

   make run TARGET=hw 


* **Example output(Step 4)** 

.. code-block:: bash
