Abstract :
Three-dimensional weighted median filters for noise reduction in gray-level image sequences are presented. The filters are designed to retain completely nonmoving regions in image sequences. In moving regions, 3-D filter structures adapt automatically to changes in image sequence content and perform a filtering operation in moving regions. Noise attenuation capability of the filters is studied. The performance of the filters in terms of detail preservation and noise reduction is examined using real image sequences.<>
