VECTOR MEDIAN FILTER APPLICATION OVER COLOR IMAGES

MEDIAN FILTER ON COLOR IMAGES

The first application of median filter is on three color matrices separately.


The drawback of this method is that the separate elements are almost always correlated and such usage of median filter does not utilize this property.


BASIC VECTOR DIRECTIONAL FILTER


The component which has the median angle within the filter mask is chosen as the output of the filter


GENERAL VECTOR DIRECTIONAL FILTER


Basic vector median filter is used with a multitude of outputs, resulting in the centermost directioned vectors


2D gray-level morphological and order statistics filters are applied to the resultant set
