What does a median filter do?

The median filter is the filtering technique used for noise removal from images and signals. Median filter is very crucial in the image processing field as it is well known for the preservation of edges during noise removal.

How do you find the median of a filter?

The median is calculated by first sorting all the pixel values from the surrounding neighborhood into numerical order and then replacing the pixel being considered with the middle pixel value.

What is a median filter Matlab?

The median filter replaces the center value in the window with the median value of all the points within the window [5]. In computing this median, medfilt1 assumes zeros beyond the input points.

What is the difference between median filter and average filter?

The median filter is also a sliding-window spatial filter, but it replaces the center value in the window with the median of all the pixel values in the window. As for the mean filter, the kernel is usually square but can be any shape. An example of median filtering of a single 3x3 window of values is shown below.
