ComfyUI Node: ImageFilterMin

ImageFilterMin:

The ImageFilterMin node is designed to apply a minimum filter to your images, which is a type of non-linear filter used to reduce noise and detail. This filter works by replacing each pixel in the image with the minimum value of the pixels in a surrounding neighborhood defined by the filter size. The primary benefit of using the ImageFilterMin node is its ability to smooth out small variations in the image, making it useful for tasks that require noise reduction or the removal of small artifacts. This node is particularly effective in scenarios where you want to preserve the overall structure of the image while minimizing finer details.

ImageFilterMin Input Parameters:

images

This parameter accepts the image or images you want to process. The input should be in the format of an image object that the node can interpret and apply the filter to.

size

The size parameter defines the size of the neighborhood around each pixel that the filter will consider. It is an integer value with a default of 2, a minimum of 0, and increments in steps of 2. The size you choose will impact the extent of the filtering effect; larger sizes will result in more aggressive noise reduction but may also blur more details in the image.

ImageFilterMin Output Parameters:

IMAGE

The output is the processed image with the minimum filter applied. This image will have reduced noise and finer details smoothed out, depending on the size parameter you set. The output retains the overall structure of the original image while minimizing small variations.

ImageFilterMin Usage Tips:

• For subtle noise reduction, use a smaller size value to preserve more details in the image.
• If you need to remove more significant noise or artifacts, increase the size parameter, but be aware that this may also blur some details.
• Experiment with different size values to find the optimal balance between noise reduction and detail preservation for your specific use case.

ImageFilterMin Common Errors and Solutions:

"Invalid image format"

• Explanation: This error occurs if the input image is not in a format that the node can process.
• Solution: Ensure that the input image is in a compatible format, such as a standard image object recognized by the node.

"Size parameter out of range"

• Explanation: This error happens when the size parameter is set to a value outside the allowed range.
• Solution: Adjust the size parameter to be within the specified range (minimum of 0, steps of 2).

"Image processing failed"

• Explanation: This generic error indicates that something went wrong during the image processing.
• Solution: Check the input image and parameters for any inconsistencies or errors, and try again. If the problem persists, consult the documentation or support for further assistance.
