A new filter was created by improving the standard Kuwahara filter. It allows more efficient noise reduction without blurring the edges and image preparation for segmentation and further analyses operations. One of the biggest and most common restrictions encountered in filter algorithms is the need for a declarative definition of the filter window size or the number of iterations that an operation should be repeated. In the case of the proposed solution, we are dealing with automatic adaptation of the algorithm to the local environment of each pixel in the processed image.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
