Description

Median filter.

Syntax

BOOL MedianFilter( int nWindowSize, int nPaddingOption = MFILTER_ZEROPADDINGWINDOW )

Parameters

nWindowSize: [input] The size of the window (N) for median filter
nPaddingOption: [input] Pads the area outside the borders in one of the following ways; =MFILTER_ZEROPADDINGWINDOW -- Zero Pad, pads with zeroes; =MFILTER_MAPPADDINGWINDOW -- Reflect Pad, values from immediate neighbors are repeated but more inside values are reflected padding more than 1 line;; =MFILTER_REPEATEDGEPADDINGWINDOW--- repeat edge padding.

Return

Returns TRUE on success and FALSE on failure.

Remark

MedianFilter examines the N x N pixels centered around each pixel of an image (matrix).It finds the median value of the N x N pixels, and then replaces the central pixel with the median value. It is a useful filter to remove spot noise (white spots, black spots) in an image because such noisy pixels have values way off the median value.
