A method for design of impulse bursts noise filters optimized for FPGA implementations

This paper deals with the evolutionary design of area-efficient filters for impulse bursts noise which is often present in remote sensing images such as satellite images. Evolved filters require much smaller area in the FPGA than conventional filters. Simultaneously, they exhibit at least comparable filtering capabilities with respect to conventional filters. Low-cost embedded systems equipped with low-end FPGAs represent a target application for presented filters.
