smoothing op• Data kinds: image → image
• Call: fullseye.apply(img, "bilateral_filter", a=0.5, b=0.5) (the 2-D model is one image plus two scalar knobs a,b∈[0,1])
• HALCON equivalent: bilateral_filter (the HALCON reference is a useful guide to its meaning and parameters)

*The figure is the real output on a synthetic 128×128 input. Left: input, right: output (a non-image return value is shown as the value itself).*
OpenCV's bilateral filter (`cv2.bilateralFilter). A standard method that averages neighboring pixels weighted by both spatial distance and intensity difference, smoothing while preserving edges. Corresponds to HALCON's bilateral_filter` (bilateral filtering of an image).

`a が空間方向のシグマ(1〜4)を、b` が輝度(色)方向のシグマ(0.05〜0.45)
を振る。両方が使われる。`cv2` が無い環境ではこの分岐は呼べない。

• Sample-data catalog (download URLs / licences) — 2-D uses skimage.data (BSD/public domain) plus synthetic images; 3-D lists download URLs for real data sources (Stanford, PDS, …).
• Operator provenance and references — the sources of the research/methods this op family came from.
• The canonical algorithm (author, year) and its uses are named in the family usage guide above.
The program below has been verified to run (same input as the figure). In Studio's help this block becomes buttons that load and run it on the spot.
