\[P((x,y),T) = \sum_{(x',y')\in T}K((x,y),(x',y'))\]  where $K$ is a gaussian kernel. in practice we take a discrete gaussian kernel filter for $K$.  Whereas the simple histogram method places a spike function (i.e. $K = \delta_{(x,y)}$) \delta_{((x,y), .)}$)  at the bin corresponding to $(x,y)$ and update only a single bin, Parzen windowing places a kernel at the bin of $(x,y)$ and updates all bins falling under the kernel with the corresponding kernel value. As a result using a gaussian filter, the estimated distributions are more smooth and less sparse.
