I would like to explain the supported modes in the guided filter, (1) Basic mode shows better denoising performance compared to bilateral filter and can be applied in many applications such as detail enhancement, dehazing, and so on, which is illustrated in paper http://kaiminghe.com/eccv10/. (2) Fast basic mode is the fast algorithm of basic mode by downsampling method, which is recommended by http://kaiminghe.com/eccv10/. When the downsampling ratio is too large, blocking artifacts may occur. We can further improve this next step. (3) Enhanced mode is based on the local edge information, which can better preserve the detailed information. We propose this mode in the second period of GSoC. (4) Fast enhanced mode is the fast algorithm of enhanced mode by downsampling method.
And the memory reallocation is indeed an issue of this filter, which can be improved. All in all, we believe that guided filter is an important tool and has been proved to be very useful in many applications. So keep this filter is a better choice.
