Iterative Smoothed Residuals: A Low-Pass Filter for Smoothing With Controlled Shrinkage

We present a linear smoothing operator which has low-pass characteristics similar to a Butterworth filter and limited spatial extent similar to a Gaussian. The smoothing operator also has closed forms in the spatial and frequency domains which facilitate analysis and implementation. A formula is derived that allows us to explicitly control shrinkage.
