In this paper we propose a new algorithm for image filtering using morphological thickness map. Compared to the other smoothing methods, such as anisotropic diffusion, comparative filters, guided and rolling guidance filters, the benefit of our method is that it natively works with the image structure – thickness map, so it does not depend on the various levels of image noise, lightning conditions and effects. We present the method idea, algorithm itself and various experimental results. The results of the filtering using our algorithm can be widely applied in such image processing tasks as image segmentation, motion analysis, invariant feature transformation, data compression.
