This tool allows for the calculation of several neighbor pixels statistics for every band of a band set defined in the :ref:`band_set_tab`.
The statistics are calculated for every pixel of the input raster considering the values of the neighbor pixels. Neighbor pixels are defined through a distance or through a custom matrix.
For example, the following matrix represents the neighbor pixels within a distance of 1 pixel from a central pixel, resulting in a 3x3 matrix.
| Neighbor | Neighbor | Neighbor |
| Neighbor | Center | Neighbor |
| Neighbor | Neighbor | Neighbor |
Several statistics are available.
The statistic Sum will result in a raster convolution.
For instance, this can be useful to apply an image filter to all the bands of a
band set for photointerpretation.

| Tool symbol and name | Description |
|---|---|
:guilabel:`Select input band set`  |
select the input :ref:`band_set_tab` |
| :guilabel:`Neighbor distance in pixels` |
create a window defining the size based on the distance from the center (in number of pixels) |
 :guilabel:`Circular`  |
if checked, the window will be circular |
:guilabel:`Matrix file (optional)`  |
select a .csv file containing the structure of the window |
| :guilabel:`Output name` | set the name prefix for output files |
| :guilabel:`Virtual output` |
if checked, the output is created as virtual raster composed of as
many .tif files as the number of CPU threads defined in
:ref:`system_processing` |
