Richard, I first want to apologize that I do not have an answer for you, but I did want to comment on Michael's response.

I disagree with Michael's comment that the mode filter is of little value.  If the value of the pixels in the image represent a classification rather than digitization of a continuous attribute (like color), then the mode filter can be applied to replace "objects" of small size with the predominant classification in the neighborhood.  Continuous operations like the mean filter, and others like scaling algorithms, and standard edge detection operations do not lend themselves well to classified images.  So, in short I certainly do see the value in a mode filter, but sadly I do not know of an implementation of it in ImageJ or FIJI.
