And here is the average with some Gaussian blurring

material{
texture{
pigment{
average pigment_map{
#declare r=seed(0);
#declare n=100; //number of samples (gets slow above 10)
#declare sigma=0.015;//as a fraction of 1.0
#declare max_blur_amount=sigma*3;//spread only 3sigmas out
#declare c=0;
#while (c<n) //loop n times
    #declare dist=<rand(r),rand(r),rand(r)>*max_blur_amount;
    #declare 
gauss=(1/2/pi/pow(sigma,2))*exp(-(pow(dist.x,2)+pow(dist.y,2)+pow(dist.z,2))/(2*pow(sigma,2)));
    [gauss image_map{sys "90.bmp" interpolate 2 } translate dist]
    #declare c=c+1;
#end
}
                }
        }
    }
