Abstract:
The authors develop a fast algorithm for low- and high-pass Gaussian digital filters, executed while one discrete datum of a traced profile is sampled. In this report, the 8-step, modified running–box-function filter is presented. The transmission characteristics of this new filter are very close to those of the Gaussian digital filter given in ISO 468-1982. In addition, the conditions for using this filter are given for practical use.
