Title: Bilateral Filter - Cartoonizer (08Gen2011)
Description: This application applies Multipass Bilateral Filter to color Images.
Bilateral filtering is an Edge-preserving smoothing filter. This technique extends the concept of Gaussian
smoothing by weighting the filter coefficients with their corresponding relative pixel intensities. Pixels
that are very different in intensity from the central pixel are weighted less even though they may be in
close proximity to the central pixel. This is effectively a convolution with a non-linear Gaussian filter,
with weights based on pixel intensities. This is applied as two Gaussian filters at a localized pixel
neighborhood , one in the spatial domain, and one in the intensity domain.
