Abstract
An image processing method includes multi-resolution decomposition to decompose an input image into frequency-band images, which are subsequently filtered according to an order statistics filtering. Preferably, a finite impulse response median hybrid is employed. The filtered frequency-band images are synthesized to form the filtered output image.
