spatial filtering  

Definition

  • Spatial filtering is the application of formulae to obtain enhanced or improved images in remote sensing and more robust findings in data analytic work. Mathematical operators are utilized to separate geographically structured noise from both trend and random noise in georeferenced data, enhancing results by allowing clearer visualization and sounder statistical inference.
