Design and implementation of a single-chip 1-d median filter

Journal Article · · IEEE Trans. Acoust., Speech, Signal Process.; (United States)

The design and implementation of a VLSI chip for the one-dimensional median filtering operation is presented. The device is designed to operate on 8-bit sample sequences with a window size of five samples. Extensive pipelining and employment of systolic data-flow concepts at the bit level enable the chip to filter at rates up to ten megasamples per second. A configuration for using the chip for approximate two-dimensional median filtering operation is also presented. 16 references.
