The Gaussian smoothing filter is used for noise reduction and removing details. The filter is similar to the arithmetic mean filter but it uses a different kernel that represents the shape of a 2 dimensional Gaussian distribution which is defined as \(G_{2D}(x,y,\sigma)=\frac{1}{\sqrt{2 \pi \sigma^2}}e^{-\frac{x^2+y^2}{2\sigma^2}}\) where \sigma determines the width of the kernel.
- In the search engine of the Processing Toolbox, type Smoothing and select Smoothing (gaussian) under Image Filtering of the Orfeo Toolbox.
- Under the Parameters tab, select a single band or a multiband file as input layer.
- Select gaussian from the drop-down list as Smoothing Type.
- Adjust the Radius of a circular element in pixel size.
