Definition
A filter separates the small-scale texture from the larger-scale texture in a surface. The value of the scale at the defined separation is called the nesting index although other names are used for specific filters (e.g., cut-off for linear filters).
Scale can be defined in terms of: wavelength for linear filters, size of the structuring element (e.g., radius of a disk) for morphological filters. In Segmentation filters, the scale can be: the height difference between the highest (or lowest) points in the interior and on the boundary of a segment, the area of a segment, length of the boundary of a segment, etc.
Theory and Application
Introduction
Filtration has always been important in surface metrology: It is the means by which the surface features of interest are extracted from the measured data for further analysis.
The first filters started with the fully analogue 2CR filter implemented as a two-stage...
