Template:Bilateral Filter

Bilateral Filter

The Bilateral Filter performs an edge-preserving smoothing filter. It can emphasize the longer-range variability in an image, which smooths the image, while reducing the edge blurring effect other smoothing filters might cause. It is very useful for reducing noise in an image.

Input Parameters

• Input raster file: – Select the raster to be used.
• Standard deviation in distance in pixels: – The closer distance to the kernel center, the heavier weighting given to the pixel. Enter the deviation in decimal (0.75 is default).
• Standard deviation in intesity in pixels: – The closer the intensity to the kernel weightings the heavier weighting given to the pixel. Enter the intensity to be used (1.0 is default).

Output Parameters

• Output raster file: – Enter the name of the modified raster file to be created.
