It would help a great deal if you showed us a simplified version of the
code that actually failed. As it is, we can can't be sure what you're
doing. For instance, what is column_log? If it's the array that you're
trying to convolve with that kernel, you've got a serious problem:
column_log has a length of only 1 in the first dimension, which is
insufficient to make use of a kernel whose first dimension has a length
of 3. If you're talking about an image, the data you're convolving
shouldn't be a 1x374 array. What is the shape of the image that you're
trying to convolve?

Humm, well, I don't see any image either. Perhaps you
could give us a little more detail about what you
are trying to do here.

Cheers,

Dear All,
Sorry for not giving a detailed description of the program. The
following is the program, which tries to apply a low pass filter to an
image of size, 766*374 with 62 bands.

PRO vnoise
filename='image.hdf'
hdfid=hdf_sd_start(filename, /READ)

varid=hdf_sd_select(hdfid, 0)
hdf_sd_getdata, varid, image


varid=hdf_sd_select(hdfid, 1)
hdf_sd_getdata, varid, mask

hdf_sd_end_access, varid


hdf_sd_end, hdfid


column_average=rebin(image, 1, 374, 62)


;applying the log to the average radiance of the image
column_log = alog10(column_average)

ksize = [3,3]


kernel = replicate((1.0/(ksize[0]*ksize[1])), ksize[0], ksize[1])


filtered_image = convol(float(column_log), kernel, /CENTER,
/EDGE_TRUNCATE)

;filtered_image = convol(float(column_log), kernel, /CENTER,
/EDGE_TRUNCATE)
;% CONVOL: Incompatible dimensions for Array and Kernel.
;% Execution halted at: $MAIN$


And this is where I get the error message about the dimensions.

What I am trying to do is to rebin the image column-wise, apply a log
to the average, and then apply the kernel to the image.

Let me know where I go wrong!

Thank you
Vidhya
