I did understand that. 

Let us look at the loop:

        for (x = 0; x < width; x++) {
          for (y = 0; y < height; y++) {
            int positive = (width*height-1);
            int negative = (y*width+x+kernal_size[filter_scale]/2);
           
          ...

If the kernal size/2 > 0 then negative *can* get greater than positive
for some values of x and y. Everything else are overflow effects.

...or what am I getting wrong here?

Cheers,
Wolfgang
