Title
An Efficient Vector Median Filter Computation
Abstract
The vector median filter(VMF) is a useful and common tool for noise removal in color image processing. The drawback of the approach in its gen- eral form is the high computational cost if implemented naively. Indeed it takes O(n m m4s) distance evaluations for computing the filter response, where ms ist the mask size and n m the dimension of the image. In this contribu- tion we propose a general algorithmic optimization framework for reducing the complexity to O(n m m3s ). We discuss the dependency of the VMF on the dis- tance measure and demonstrate that for the square Euclidian distance, the VMF becomes a vector near-mean filter with just O(n m m2s ) distance evaluations.
