Color artifacts are often found at edges due to interpolation across them. To tackle this
problem, four high-order interpolants for four different directions are determined, and a …

As today's digital cameras contain millions of image sensors, it is highly probable that the
image sensors will contain a few defective pixels due to errors in the fabrication process …

A 2-D, multishell median-based filter for real-time video signal processing is presented. The
device is able to remove impulse and missing line noise in real-time without blurring sharp …

It is shown that for a particular window size, by changing gradually the minimum and
maximum operators to the higher and lower order statistics of the shell, respectively, the …

Modern cameras have an image sensor with millions of pixels, among which some of them
are inevitably defective (known as hot pixels). Moreover, the number of hot pixels will …

The multi-shell median filters have been shown to be effective in preserving image details as
well as in the suppression of impulsive noise. In this paper, the statistical analysis of a …

The multistage and multi-shell median filters have been shown to be effective in preserving
fine image structures as well as in the suppression of noise. It has been shown that the multi …

The fabrication process for today's digital cameras will inevitably produce some defective
pixels in those mega-pixel image sensors. In the manufacturing process, these defective …

In the manufacturing process of image sensors for digital cameras, some defective pixels
known as bad pixels will inevitably be produced and more bad pixels may emerge with …

Local histogram filtering utilizing feature selective templates consists of ordering the
elements of the subimage histogram contained in the support of a nine element square …
