[求助] 大家帮忙看看这个 decision letter 还有 argue的空间吗？

Reviewer Comments:

Reviewer: 1

Recommendation: R - Reject (Paper Is Not Of Sufficient Quality Or Novelty To Be Published In This Transactions)

Comments:
The two main claims of the authors are:

(1) One can use recursions to compute the bilateral filter.

(2) DCT kernels are a *better* option than raised cosines.

As for (1), it is possible that the authors overlooked the fact that the recursions derived in the paper is just another way of writing the recursions in (**). It all boils down to the fact that as soon we have a constant spatial filter and a shiftable range filter, we can use recursions. The case where the spatial filter is not flat is more challenging. It was proposed in (**) that this can also be accounted for by approximating the spatial filter using shiftable kernels. This is exactly what is observed just before Section 3.2.

Coming to point (2), note that it is clear from Fig. 2 that the DCT approximation has the same problem as Taylor polynomials, namely, they are not guaranteed to be monotonic and non-negative, and can oscillate. As was observed in (*) for Taylor polynomials, this can introduce artifacts in the final output, particularly close to edges.

Morally speaking, the DCT kernel is just another linear combination of cosines. And so the idea of using DCT over raise cosines cannot be regarded as very original.

Reviewer: 2

Recommendation: RQ - Review Again After Major Changes

Comments:
-The whole process if represented in a flow diagram would be better
- More examples and more data is necessary
- Some grammatical errors in page 1
- As you're concluding that UBF is a better approach than the previous approaches, a more detailed comparison of the complexity, run-time and various factors leading to this conclusion is necessary
- More info on how the results were validated would be helpful for the readers

我觉得第一个审稿人的两条意见，我都很难赞同，特别是第一条。我觉得他没有理解我的论文和**论文，以至于从表面上看感觉一样，其实他们的本质有很大的差别。第二条也有问题，我承认没有解决他说说的那两个问题，但是至今都没人解决。而我的算法比之前的more efficient。并能适用于更多场合。

觉得不服气，想要 argue。但是没经验，求高人赐教

第一篇 IEEE Transaction 不想被打击。。。
