[Kdenlive-devel] Kdenlive feature request : blur

[Varol]

All I just recently implemented the following very fast blur algol in
QDVDAuthor. Please note that it is not a Gausian blur but I believe much
faster.
It should be easy to integrate it into kdenlive

#define qMax(a,b) (a>b)?a:b
#define qMin(a,b) (a<b)?a:b

//
template<int aprec, int zprec>
static inline void blurinner(unsigned char *bptr, int &zR, int &zG, int
&zB, int &zA, int alpha);

template<int aprec,int zprec>
static inline void blurrow( QImage & im, int line, int alpha);

template<int aprec, int zprec>
static inline void blurcol( QImage & im, int col, int alpha);

/*
*  expblur(QImage &img, int radius)
*
*  In-place blur of image 'img' with kernel
*  of approximate radius 'radius'.
*
*  Blurs with two sided exponential impulse
*  response.
*
*  aprec = precision of alpha parameter
*  in fixed-point format 0.aprec
*
*  zprec = precision of state parameters
*  zR,zG,zB and zA in fp format 8.zprec

  if(radius<1)
    return;

     the kernel is within the radius.

  int alpha = (int)((1<<aprec)*(1.0f-expf(-2.3f/(radius+1.f))));
