  • Abstract
    A fast real-time algorithm is presented for median filtering of signals and images. The algorithm determines the kth bit of the median by inspecting the k most significant bits of the samples. The total number of full-word comparison steps is equal to the wordlength of the samples. Speed and hardware complexity of the algorithm is compared with two other fast methods for median filtering.
