In this paper, we extend the concept of the Mi's of weighted median filters to stack filters. A fast algorithm is proposed to compute Mi of stack filters. The problem of synthesis of stack filters by rank selection probabilities through the Mi's is addressed. The necessary and sufficient condition for Mi to be a stack filter is presented. A procedure is proposed to synthesize a stack filter by a given set of rank selection probabilities.
