<br>Hi Paul,<br><br>Nope, ITK does not have an implementation of this filter.<br><br>Note that this is not really a median filter, it is rather a <br>selective mean filter.<br><br>You may want to try the traditional Median filter, which has
<br>already some edge preserving properties.<br><br><br>You will also find a list of edge-preserving smoothing filters<br>in the ITK Software Guide:<br><br> <a href="http://www.itk.org/ItkSoftwareGuide.pdf">http://www.itk.org/ItkSoftwareGuide.pdf
</a><br><br>In section 6.7.3, "Edge Preserving Smoothing" in pdf-page 226.<br><br><br>If you really want to implement the kuwahara filter, it may be <br>easy to put together a couple of ITK filters in a mini-pipeline
<br>to achieve a similar effect. <br><br>The only tricky part of the code will be to visit the means of <br>the quadrants, since it will require to set the list of neighbors<br>of a Neighborhood iterator.<br><br>Please let us know if you want to implement the filter and
<br>would like to have details or suggestions on how to do it.<br><br><br> Regards,<br><br><br> Luis<br><br><br><br>-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br><div><span class="gmail_quote">

Hi All:<br><br>Is there an implementation (or alternative) for the Kuwahara edge<br>preserving median filter in the itk toolkit?<br><br>Filter as implemented in ImageJ:<br><a href="http://rsb.info.nih.gov/ij/plugins/kuwahara.html">
