Median Image Filter

Overview

The MedianImageFilter is commonly used as a robust approach for noise reduction. This filter is particularly efficient against “salt-and-pepper” noise. In other words, it is robust to the presence of gray-level outliers. MedianImageFilter computes the value of each output pixel as the statistical median of the neighborhood of values around the corresponding input pixel.
