Abstract :
We present in this paper a modified bilateral filter that is able to enhance flow-like structure. The shape (contour) of the domain Gaussian filter can change adaptively according to the local orientation obtained from structure tensor. The resulting combined elliptical shaped Gaussian domain filter and range filter is demonstrated to be able to smooth out random noise while preserving and enhancing local structure.
