smoothing op• Data kinds: image → image
• Call: fullseye.apply(img, "sigma_image", a=0.5, b=0.5) (the 2-D model is one image plus two scalar knobs a,b∈[0,1])
• HALCON equivalent: sigma_image (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).*
Non-linear smoothing via a sigma filter. It averages only the neighboring pixels close to the center pixel value (`|x-mean|<σ) -- near edges, tones from the opposite side are not mixed into the average, so this results in noise removal that preserves edges better than a mean filter. Equivalent to HALCON's sigma_image` (Non-linear smoothing with the sigma filter.).

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.
