ABSTRACT:
A filter performs a reduction of pulsed noise in video images in accordance with fuzzy logic. An interface circuit of the filter receives consecutive digital signals in time corresponding to the video images and generates an image window having a digital signal to be processed at the center. The filter also has a comparator block, a plurality of digital subtractors, and a memory circuit connected in cascade to the comparator block. The filter also has a filtering circuit that organizes values of digital signals of the video image, and an arithmetic block that performs a switch between the digital signal to be processed and the output of the filtering circuit on the basis of the values taken by the parameter.
