Abstract

Robust filters are those filters that are not influenced to a large extent by outliers in profiles. We describe the adaptation of the Gaussian filter in the form of a two-pass method that is modestly robust against outliers. This method, described in international Standards, is referred to as the Rk method. We consider an example profile with outliers that is used to demonstrate how the Rk filter is less influenced by outliers than the Gaussian filter. We also describe a Gaussian regression based robust filter that employs a multi-pass method that is robust against outliers. We compare this method against the Rk method.
