Where do these value come from?

Solution

  • You linked the Answer yourself. These values are a discrete representation of the Gaussian Function.

    The 2D Gaussian looks like this:

    To get the Filter Values you evaluate the 2D-Gaussian Function at the discrete x-y Position corresponding to your Kernel Size and sigma.

    On this website you can find a detailed explanation of the Gaussian Filter.
