Abstract :
A programmable hardware system developed for a recent class of nonlinear hybrid filters called order statistics-rational hybrid filters (OSRHFs) is presented. The application at hand is noise filtering in grey level images. The proposed hardware system exploits the features of the dynamic logic families which can achieve high speed and compactness, while keeping the power dissipation very low
