ABSTRACT:
A method filters an input image to produce an output image. A bilateral filter is composed of a spatial filter and a range filter. Pixel intensities in the input image are multiplied by each other to produce the set of power images, which approximate the application of the range filter. The spatial filter is applied to the set of power image to determine responses, and the responses are combined on a pixel-by-pixel basis to produce a bilaterally filtered output image.
