Lazy Sliding Window Implementation of the Bilateral Filter on Parallel Architectures
Bilateral filter is one of the state-of-the-art methods for noise reduction in images. The plausible visual result the filter produces makes it a common choice for image and video processing applications, yet, its high computational complexity makes a real-time implementation a challenging task. Presented here is a parallel version of the bilateral filter using a lazy sliding window, suitable for SIMD-type architectures.
