PHP/GD : Better Gaussian blur

I want to blur an image with GD library, unfortunately the GAUSSIAN_BLUR effect that GD gives isn't enough and i want something being more blurrish

<?php $im = imagecreatefrompng($_GET['image']);
if($im && imagefilter($im, IMG_FILTER_GAUSSIAN_BLUR))
{
  header('Content-Type: image/png');
    imagepng($im);
}
else
{
    echo 'fail';
}

imagedestroy($im);

I want something like this or at least near it.

You can try convolution:

$gaussian = array(array(1.0, 2.0, 1.0), array(2.0, 4.0, 2.0), array(1.0, 2.0, 1.0));
imageconvolution($image, $gaussian, 16, 0);

$gaussian is a matrix, so mathematically it's

[[1, 2, 1],
 [2, 4, 2],
 [1, 2, 1]]

you can find other convolution filters at: http://aishack.in/tutorials/image-convolution-examples/

imageconvolution( <image element>, <convolution matrix>, <divisor (sum of convolution matrix)>, <color offset>);

so from the code above 1+2+1+2+4+2+1+2+1 = 16 the sum of the matrix. http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.imageconvolution.php#97921 is a neat trick for getting the sum of the divisor.

check out http://php.net/manual/en/function.imageconvolution.php for more info on this function.

good ol' fashion blur is (1,2,1),(2,1,2),(1,2,1)

EDIT: as stated below you can run any filter more than once on the resulting output to also enhance the effect.

After coming across the same problem, I applied the same filter a few times, and each time to the resulting resource of the previous "imagefilter" call. I got the 'more blurry' effect you're looking for.

e.g.:

for ($x=1; $x<=15; $x++)
   imagefilter($image, IMG_FILTER_GAUSSIAN_BLUR);

I have very good result with following code based on this solution:

    for ($i = 0; $i < 25; $i++) {
        if ($i % 10 == 0) {//each 10th time apply 'IMG_FILTER_SMOOTH' with 'level of smoothness' set to -7
            imagefilter($tmp_dst_image, IMG_FILTER_SMOOTH, -7);
        }
        imagefilter($tmp_dst_image, IMG_FILTER_GAUSSIAN_BLUR);
    }

When you apply smooth after several blurs it delivers very good blurry effect. You can experiment with the following number in the code: 25, 10, -7.

Not sure if the imagefilter arguments help but check them out.

Alternatively, simply apply the image filter to it's result a couple of times???

try this:

<?php
//
//fastblur function from image hosting and processing site http://hero-in.com
//

function blur($img, $radius=10)
{

if ($radius>100) $radius=100; //max radius
if ($radius<0) $radius=0; //nin radius

$radius=$radius*4;
$alphaStep=round(100/$radius)*1.7;
$width=imagesx($img);
$height=imagesy($img);
$beginX=floor($radius/2);
$beginY=floor($radius/2);


//make clean imahe sample for multiply
$cleanImageSample=imagecreatetruecolor($width, $height);
imagecopy($cleanImageSample, $img, 0, 0, 0, 0, $width, $height);


//make h blur
for($i = 1; $i < $radius+1; $i++)
{
$xPoint=($beginX*-1)+$i-1;
imagecopymerge($img, $cleanImageSample, $xPoint, 0, 0, 0, $width, $height, $alphaStep);
}
//make v blur
imagecopy($cleanImageSample, $img, 0, 0, 0, 0, $width, $height);
for($i = 1; $i < $radius+1; $i++)
{
$yPoint=($beginY*-1)+$i-1;
imagecopymerge($img, $cleanImageSample, 0, $yPoint, 0, 0, $width, $height, $alphaStep);
}
//finish
return $img;
imagedestroy($cleanImageSample); 
}

//example
$im = ImageCreateFromJpeg('image.jpg');
$im = blur($im,10);
imagejpeg($im)
imagedestroy($im);
?>
