3.3.1. Visión general

Regularize geometry at a speed proportional to the local mean curvature value: this filter uses the mean curvature algorithm to blur the image preserving edges.

Mean Curvature algorithm is describes in Wikipedia

3.3.2. Activar el filtro

You can find this filter in the image menu under Filters → Blur → Mean Curvature Blur…

3.3.3. Opciones

Figura 17.12. “Mean Curvature Blur” filter parameters

Presets, Preview, Split view: These options are common to GEGL-based filters. Please refer to Sección 2, “Características comunes”.
Iteraciones: Increasing Iterations increases blur.
Recortado: The result of this filter can be larger than the original image. With the default Adjust option, the layer will be automatically resized as necessary when the filter is applied. With the Clip option the result will be clipped to the layer boundary.
