1. A system for processing an image edge, comprising: an edge filter having a configuration to process an image input and having a communication path to provide generated edge data; at least one edge-smoothing filter with an arrangement to receive and process the edge data to filter-out image noise while preserving an image edge, and with an output to provide generated edge-smoothed data; and an adder coupled to receive and configured to add the edge-smoothed data to the image input, thereby generating an edge-smoothed image.
