Abstract
Two 3-D median-based filtering algorithms have been developed that preserve the motion in the image sequence while attenuating noise effectively. Some observations are made on the root signals in the binary domain based on the positive Boolean functions corresponding to the filters. From the Boolean expressions the output distribution functions are derived. The performance of both filters under various noise types is examined theoretically and experimentally. The structures are simulated on a video sequencer (DVSR 100) on real image sequences. Comparisons are made with other 2- and 3-D algorithms from the literature based on mean square error, mean absolute error, and subjective criteria.
