Description

Despeckling reduces speckle noise while preserving the edges of features in an image.

This routine comes from the ImageMagick library.

[Note] Note

This despeckling is entirely different from the despeckling that is done on the pixel selection. That operation smooths out the set of selected pixels. This operation smooths out an Image.
