==Original Abstract Submitted==

A method is provided. The method includes determining a first bump map indicative of a first set of positions of bumps. The method includes determining, based upon the first bump map, a first plurality of bump densities associated with a plurality of regions of the first bump map. The method includes smoothing the first plurality of bump densities to determine a second plurality of bump densities associated with the plurality of regions of the first bump map. The method includes determining, based upon the second plurality of bump densities, a second bump map indicative of the first set of positions of the bumps and a set of sizes of the bumps.
