Here's a sample of our image processing code for reference.
ColorImage *image;

image->Write("/original.bmp");
//Here's where we'd like to add the blur
BinaryImage *thresholdImage = image->ThresholdHSV(threshold);
thresholdImage->Write("/threshold.bmp");
BinaryImage *filteredImage = thresholdImage->ParticleFilter(criteria, 1);
filteredImage->Write("Filtered.bmp");
Thank you for any help you can give us!

There are plenty of libraries that can do a gaussian blur, but most of them are huge and require a lot of space on your device.
If you want to get down to what a blur is fundamentally, it is a NxN (typically 3x3) matrix that goes through your image and changes the pixel values according to some factor. A common blur is to simply average the pixel values within the NxN matrix. But, this is a color image, therefore it is 3 channels deep. So, you're going to have to apply a blur to the red, blue, and green channel (or h, s, and v depending on what you are doing).
Here is how opencv does a gaussian blur:

A gaussian blur is a little different than the averaging technique. It gives more value to the pixels in the center:

I don't know your means of doing computer vision, so this is all the help I can give with the information I have.
If you have any other questions, don't be afraid to ask!
