Median Filter


Newsletter Subscription

LatticeCoreMedian filtering is a popular method of noise removal, employed extensively in applications involving speech, signal and image processing. This non-linear technique has proven to be a good alternative to linear filtering as it can effectively suppress impulse noise while preserving edge information. The core’s flexible architecture supports a wide variety of video frame sizes on various Lattice device families. A simple IO handshake makes the core suitable for either streaming or bursty input video data.

Features

  • Single color plane
  • Three filter window sizes: 3x3, 5x5 and 7x7
  • Configurable input data width
  • Input frame size set at compile-time
  • Static active region selection
  • Edge mode handling: COPY, MIRROR or VALUE
  • Optional clock enable and synchronous reset ports
