The lower left picture shows the same picture after horizontal lowpass filtering with a 37 tap filter and a cut-off frequency of 0.2 (frequency range 0...0.5). The lower right picture finally shows the same picture after vertical 7 tap median filtering. All filterings were done in the RGB domain with no special selections.
