Remarks

An arithmetic mean filter operation on an image removes short tailed noise such as uniform and Gaussian type noise from the image at the cost of blurring the image. The arithmetic mean filter is defined as the average of all pixels within a local region of an image.

Example

This C#/VB.NET code shows how to load an image from disk, apply the arithmetic mean filter to the image and save the result to a new image file.
