Weighted Median Filter. Aug 01 1984 The median filter is well-known 1 2. Furthermore WM filters belong to the broad class of nonlinear filters.
It enables filters to be designed with a wide variety of properties. Furthermore WM filters belong to the broad class of nonlinear filters called stack filters. Particular cases of filter requirements are discussed and the corresponding filters are derived.
A more general filter called the Weighted Median Filter of which the median filter is a special case is described.
Furthermore WM filters belong to the broad class of nonlinear filters. Median smoothers have traditionally relied on threshold decomposition for their analysis and design 10. Fast Weighted Median Filter Weighted median is used in many of computer vision applications for its properties in sparsity representation. Weighted Median WM filters have the robustness and edge preserving capability of the classical median filter and resemble linear FIR filters in certain properties.
