Tool Gaussian Filter

The Gaussian filter is a low-pass filter operator that is used to 'blur' or 'soften' data and to remove detail and noise.
The degree of smoothing is determined by the kernel size specified as radius and the weighting of each raster cell within the kernel. The weighting scheme uses the Gaussian bell curve function and can be adjusted to the kernel size with the 'Standard Deviation' option.
