These Gaussians are plotted in the accompanying figure. The product of two Gaussian functions is a Gaussian, and the convolution of two Gaussian functions is also a Gaussian, with variance being the sum of the original variances: c 2 = c 1 2 + c 2 2 {\displaystyle c^{2}=c_{1}^{2}+c_{2}^{2}} .
A different technique, which goes back to Laplace (1812), [3] is the following. Let = =. Since the limits on s as y → ±∞ depend on the sign of x, it simplifies the calculation to use the fact that e −x 2 is an even function, and, therefore, the integral over all real numbers is just twice the integral from zero to infinity.
In probability theory and statistics, a normal distribution or Gaussian distribution is a type of continuous probability distribution for a real-valued random variable.The general form of its probability density function is [2] [3] = ().
The difference of Gaussians can be thought of as an approximation of the Mexican hat kernel function used for the Laplacian of the Gaussian operator. The key observation is that the family of Gaussians is the fundamental solution of the heat equation
A key fact of Gaussian processes is that they can be completely defined by their second-order statistics. [5] Thus, if a Gaussian process is assumed to have mean zero, defining the covariance function completely defines the process' behaviour.

Shape of the impulse response of a typical Gaussian filter. In electronics and signal processing, mainly in digital signal processing, a Gaussian filter is a filter whose impulse response is a Gaussian function (or an approximation to it, since a true Gaussian response would have infinite impulse response).
The difference between a small and large Gaussian blur. In image processing, a Gaussian blur (also known as Gaussian smoothing) is the result of blurring an image by a Gaussian function (named after mathematician and scientist Carl Friedrich Gauss).
