Curvature effect of median filtering on range images

The effect of median filtering on range images was investigated experimentally. Median filtering was utilized to remove noise from the range images. First- and second-order derivatives were utilized to locate the similarities between the processed and the original images. Range depth information was converted into spatial coordinates, and a set of coefficients which describe three-dimensional objects was generated using an existing algorithm. Range images of spheres and cylinders were used for experimental purposes
