median_image — 2D rank op

Data kinds: imageimage

Call: fullseye.apply(img, "median_image", a=0.5, b=0.5) (the 2-D model is one image plus two scalar knobs a,b∈[0,1])

HALCON equivalent: median_image (the HALCON reference is a useful guide to its meaning and parameters)

Usage

Median filter (`ndimage.median_filter, square window). A denoising method that replaces each pixel with the median within a window; unlike a mean filter, it can remove salt-and-pepper noise while preserving edges. Equivalent to HALCON's median_image` (Compute a median filter with various masks.) (HALCON allows arbitrary masks such as circular or octagonal, but here it is fixed to a square mask).
