3.5. Mean Curvature Blur
	3. Sumenna-suotimet

3.5.1. Yleiskatsaus

Regularize geometry at a speed proportional to the local mean curvature value: this filter uses the mean curvature algorithm to blur the image preserving edges.

The Mean Curvature algorithm is described on Wikipedia.

3.5.2. Activating the Filter

This filter is found in the main menu under Filters → Blur → Mean Curvature Blur….
