Abstract
Image processing systems and methods are provided for processing a stream of data values (e.g. pixel values). The image processing system comprises a processing module configured to: receive a plurality of pixel values, each of the received pixel values having a first number of bits; and implement processing of a particular pixel value by operating on a particular subset of the received pixel values, by: classifying each of the pixel values within the particular subset into a group of a set of one or more groups; determining an average value in respect of the pixel values within the particular subset which are classified into one of the one or more groups, wherein the determined average value has a second number of bits, wherein said second number is greater than said first number; replacing the particular pixel value based on the determined average value; and outputting the processed particular pixel value.
