An efficient hardware implementation of a median filter is presented. Input samples are used
to construct a cumulative histogram, which is then used to find the median. The resource …

Mathematical morphology is a well known image and signal processing technique.
However, most morphological tools such Matlab are not suited for strong real-time …

Most effort in designing median filters has focused on two-dimensional filters with small
window sizes, used for image processing. However, recent work on novel image processing …

This paper presents a new architecture and circuit implementation of 1-D median filter. The
proposed circuit belongs to the class of non-recursive sorting network architectures that …

New properties of the front and back ends of sorting networks are studied, illustrating their
utility when searching for bounds on optimal networks. Search focuses first on the “out …

A novel impulsive noise (IN) eliminator filter, entitled Jarque–Bera test based Median Filter
(JM), which shows a high performance at the restoration of images distorted by IN is …

In this paper, a new filter, RM, which is based on exact radial basis function artificial neural
networks, is proposed for the impulsive noise suppression from highly distorted images. The …

A new impulsive noise elimination filter, entitled Anfis-based impulsive noise removing filter
(AIF), which shows a high performance at the restoration of images distorted by impulsive …

The continuing development of smaller electronic devices into the nanometer regime offers
great possibilities of highly parallel computing systems, as it allows to reduce power …

This paper presents a newly devised noise filter namely, Adaptive Two-Stage Median Filter
(ATSM) to denoise the images corrupted by fixed-value impulse noise. The performance of …
