This paper proposes a new algorithm of median filters for VLSI implementation. The architecture based on this algorithm has modular, regular, locally connected and expansible features. The throughput of the filter is independent of the window size and the hardware complexity is O(WN), where W is the window size and N is the bit number per pixel.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
