Coordinate logic order statistics filters: new approach for real‐time image processing
Tsirikolias Kostas · Electronics Letters · 2014
A new approach regarding real‐time low‐level image and signal processing is presented. This new approach deals with the philosophy of finding a method for designing and executing algorithms (filters), using the most minimum possible complexity. The proposed method is based on a special formation of coordinate logic filters ( CLFs ), the coordinate logic order statistics (CL‐OS) filters. CL‐OS introduces a minimalistic approach in filter design followed by the greatest possible efficiency in terms of speed, quality, complexity and energy consumption. Moreover CL‐OS reveals new signal information; this information gives a different interpretation of the original signal, it could be said that it acts like a function applying a nonlinear quantisation in order to approximate the desired output.
