Hi all,

I agree that 'filter' is slightly problematic but I'd say because it's 
been used in different contexts and often misleading. However, I cannot 
think of a better word. That also depends where we place 2D image 
processing. They are also called filters. For IIR , Kalman(and possibly 
FIR) filters these are causal digital filters as they essentially behave 
as an analogue circuit in a digital form. For the casual (!) user of 
filters they'd probably just look for a filter...
