I am working on a project that has used smoothing
as a preprocessing operation for image segmentation.  As a
result I can help you find some relevant articles, and provide some
consultation if you desire.  The subject has been explored quite
extensively in the literature, for most applications it's just a
question of finding the correct balance between performance and
computational overhead.
