Abstract

We address the rationale for surface profile filtering and trace the evolution of filtering techniques from the early 2RC filter to recently introduced filters such as the Gaussian regression, spline, morphological and wavelet-based filters. We briefly mention some advantages and limitations of the different methods. Several excellent references that pertain to filtering are cited in this chapter.
