I am trying to implement the Kuwahara Filter in C#. I think my code is right, but I am not getting an exact output. Can someone help me with where I am going wrong?

is this related to the image distorted thread you had? Have you had a chance to look at my response to that? I managed to get the code you had working, it was an issue with the padding in bitmapdata arrays.
If this is unrelated, then can you be more specific about why the output isnt as expected :)
