Order statistics in digital image processing

Pitas, I., Venetsanopoulos, A.N.·1992·Proceedings of the IEEE

Abstract

A family of nonlinear filters based on order statistics is presented. A mathematical tool derived through robust estimation theory, order statistics has allowed engineers to develop nonlinear filters with excellent robustness properties. These filters are well suited to digital image processing because they preserve the edges and the fine details of an image much better than conventional linear filters. The probabilistic and deterministic properties of the best known and most widely used filter in this family, the median filter, are discussed. In addition, the authors consider filters that, while not based on order statistics, are related to them through robust estimation theory. A table that ranks nonlinear filters under a variety of performance criteria is included. Most of the topics treated are very active research areas, and the applications are varied, including HDTV, multichannel signal processing of geophysical and ECG/EEG data, and a variety of telecommunications applications.>

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
