DESCRIPTION

A simple procedure to reduce speckle noise in SAR images.

So far, the only algorithm implemented is the Lee filter. So, the method parameter is set to lee by default.

The size parameter is the one used in r.neighbors and is used to calculate local mean and local square mean. It must be odd.
