Designing a Filter for Synthetic Image Noise

One way to eliminating noise in Monte Carlo images is to increase sampling rates until the estimated error is less than the display device brightness resolution. However, in this section we show that in a typical image there will be regions in which the number of samples required to achieve this goal is impractical.
