Low-Pass Filtering

Low-pass filtering is a ``smoothing'' operation. It reduces noise, blurs edges, and introduces delay in the time domain. Low-pass operations include averaging, summation, integration, and convolution with a Gaussian. Averaging n samples reduces noise by &radic n . An easy low-pass filter in one dimension: Out_i = &alpha · In_i + (1 - &alpha) · Out_{i - 1} where &alpha < < 1
