### 3.5. Mean Curvature Blur

#### 3.5.1. 概観

図17.16 Example for the 「Mean Curvature Blur」 filter

元画像

Filter applied

Regularize geometry at a speed proportional to the local mean curvature value: this filter uses the mean curvature algorithm to blur the image preserving edges.

The Mean Curvature algorithm is described on Wikipedia.

#### 3.5.2. Activating the Filter

This filter is found in the main menu under Filters → Blur → Mean Curvature Blur….

Presets, 「Input Type」, Clipping, Blending Options, Preview, Merge filter, Split view

  | 注記
  These options are described in 「Common Features」.

Iterations

  Increasing Iterations increases blur.

#### 3.5.4. Examples
