Для будущих Googlers, которые выбирают подход NDK - я нахожу надежный упомянутый алгоритм stackblur. Я нашел реализацию C ++, которая не зависит от SSE здесь - http://www.antigrain.com/__code/include/agg_blur.h.html#stack_blur_rgba32, которая содержит некоторые оптимизации с использованием статических таблиц, таких как:
static unsigned short const stackblur_mul[255] =

Я сделал модификацию алгоритма stackblur для многоядерных систем - его можно найти здесь http://vitiy.info/stackblur-algorithm-multi-threaded-blur-for-cpp/
Поскольку все больше и больше устройств имеют 4 ядра, оптимизации дают 4х скоростное преимущество.
