  • In the search engine of the Processing Toolbox, type Smoothing and select Smoothing(mean) under Image Filtering of the Orfeo Toolbox.
  • Under the Parameters tab, select a single band or a multiband file as input layer.
  • Select mean from the drop-down list as Smoothing Type.
  • Adjust the Radius of a circular element in pixel size.
