ImageDev

Despeckle3d

Smoothes a three-dimensional image by replacing any aberrant voxel values by their neighbors mean value.

Access to parameter description

For an introduction to image filters: see Images Filtering.

For each voxel of the input image, mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ values of a rectangular neighbor window are computed.
The output image value is then given by: $$ O(i,j,k)=\left\{\begin{array}{ll} \mu(i,j,k) & ~ \mbox{if} ~ \lambda \times |I(i,j,k)-\mu(i,j,k)| > \sigma(i,j,k)\\ I(i,j,k) & ~ \mbox{otherwise} \end{array}\right. $$
Where $\lambda$ is a user-defined threshold factor on the distance of the current voxel gray level to the mean of its neighbors, relative to their standard deviation.
The greater $\lambda$ is, the stronger the blur.

This filter gives good results in the case of impulse noise.
