Median Filter

 
 
 

Strips out areas of extreme high or low intensity from an image, by creating a box of a user-defined size around each pixel, sorting all of the pixels in that box into order of intensity, determining the median pixel, and replacing the initial pixel with that color. Useful for removing single pixel glitches and for smoothing out video noise. Use a larger box size to create artistic effects. The Median Filter is a sub-set of the Rank Filter.

Requires an Input (Any).
