The guided filter is a novel explicit image filtering method, which implements a smoothing filter on “flat patch” regions and ensures edge preserving on “high variance” regions. Recently, the guided filter has been successfully incorporated into the process of fuzzy c-means (FCM) to boost the cluste...
