Description

This function combines both convolve_rows and convolve_cols into a single call for user convenience.

The need for such function came into the sight when @miralshah365 was implementing adaptive_threshold and encountered error due to multiple calls to convolve function with the same source instead of using the result of the first convolution as the source for other.

I believe the names are a bit misleading. My first impression was that kernel is allowed to be 2D, but user would have to wait for compilation error or figure out the logic by some other way. Some combination of words "pipe", "2dir" or something like that would be helpful.
It might be me being a bit picky though, looks good otherwise.

Thanks for this utility.

Formally, it should have been rejected that due to missing tests :-)
but I will add those myself as I'm adding other tests for the convolution implementation

What names?

A KernelConcept would have been helpful indeed (update: #348).

@mloskot
I mean function and kernel names. May be being a bit more specific would help, but I cannot think of a succinct enough name

@simmplecoder Right. TBH, I did not find the function names too confusing myself, but I did find the kernel_2d{_fixed} not well documented or intuitive. Well, that's how original authors from Adobe defined it. It's our job to improve it :)

void convolve(const SrcView& src, const Kernel& ker, const DstView& dst,
convolve_boundary_option option=convolve_option_extend_zero) {
convolve_rows<PixelAccum>(src, ker, dst, option);
convolve_cols<PixelAccum>(dst, ker, dst, option);

@lpranam This source and destination views overlap in the second call makes me suspicious.
I always tend to use that with intermediate buffer.
On the other hand, the convolve_rows/cols implementation does the buffering.
