Edge-preserving lowpass filters are a valuable tool in several image processing tasks, including noise reduction and dynamic range compression. A high-quality algorithm is the bilateral filter, but its computational cost is very high. A fast but approximate implementation was introduced by Durand and Dorsey. Introduced are two modifications in this technique which allow further acceleration and a significant increase in quality.
