2-D Savitzky-Golay Smoothing Filter

i.e. the Polynomial smoothingfilter or the least-squares smoothing filter.

2-D Savitzky-Golay smoothing filter (i.e., the polynomial smoothing
filter, or the least-squares smoothing filter)

See Ref. [1] for details on the 1-D Savitzky-Golay smoothing filter.

See Ref. [2] and [3] for details on the 2-D Savitzky-Golay smoothing filter.

Usage:
h=sgsf_2d(x,y,px,py,flag_coupling)
x = x data point, e.g., -3:3
y = y data point, e.g., -2:2
px =x polynomial order default=1
py =y polynomial order default=1
flag_coupling = with or without the consideration of the coupling terms, between x and y. default=0

Example:
sgsf_2d(-3:3,-3:3,2,2)
sgsf_2d(-3:3,-3:3,2,2,1)
