feConvolveMatrix applies a matrix convolution filter effect. A convolution combines pixels in the input image with neighboring pixels to produce a resulting image. A wide variety of imaging operations can be achieved through convolutions, including blurring, edge detection, sharpening, embossing, and beveling.
A matrix convolution is based on an n-by-m matrix (the convolution kernel) which describes how a given pixel value in the input image is combined with its neighboring pixel values to produce a resulting pixel value. Each result pixel is determined by applying the kernel matrix to the corresponding source pixel and its neighboring pixels.
Because they operate on pixels, matrix convolutions are inherently resolution-dependent. To make feConvolveMatrix produce resolution-independent results, an explicit value should be provided for either the filterRes attribute on the filter element and/or attribute kernelUnitLength.
kernelUnitLength, in combination with the other attributes, defines an implicit pixel grid in the filter effects coordinate system (that is, the coordinate system established by the primitiveUnits attribute). If the pixel grid established by kernelUnitLength is not scaled to match the pixel grid established by attribute filterRes (implicitly or explicitly), then the input image will be temporarily rescaled to match its pixels with kernelUnitLength. The convolution happens on the resampled image. After applying the convolution, the image is resampled back to the original resolution.
