Gaussian Filter Generation in C++
Gaussian Filtering is widely used in the field of image processing. It is used to reduce the noise of an image. In this article we will generate a 2D Gaussian Kernel. The 2D Gaussian Kernel follows the below given Gaussian Distribution. 
Where, y is the distance along vertical axis from the origin, x is the distance along horizontal axis from the origin and σ is the standard deviation.
