Analyzing data for noisy arrays

Using MATLAB I filtered a very noisy m x n array with a low-pass Gaussian filter, cleaned it up pretty well but still not well enough to analyze my data. What would the next step be? I'm thinking that signal enhancement, but am not sure how to go about this. Update Well, there are two different types of data sets actually; one is small...

Using MATLAB to find maxima for data with a lot of noise
