ABSTRACT:
In a median filter, signals received at the input are fed to a cascade of delay elements whose number is equal to the degree N of the median filter. The signals at the outputs of the delay elements which preceded the signal received at the input are fed to N subtracters which form the differences between the signal at the input and the N preceding signals. The signs of the differences are stored in shift registers, and upon receipt of a new signal at the input, they are shifted by one place. From the signs of the differences, the selection unit determines the median as the signal for which N/2 differences have negative signs and N/2 differences have positive signs.
