mediank

mediank — A median filter, a variant FIR lowpass filter.

Description

Implementation of a median filter.

Syntax

kres mediank kin, ksize, imaxsize [, iskip]

Initialization

imaxsize -- the maximun size of the window used to select the data.

iskip -- initial disposition of internal data space. A zero value will clear the space; a non-zero value will allow previous information to remain. The default value is 0.

Performance

kin -- krate value to be filtered

ksize -- size of the window over which the input is to be filtered. It must not exceed the maximum window size; if it does it is truncated.

mediank is a simple filter that retuns the median value of the last ksize values. It has a lowpass action. The efficiency decreases as the window size increases.

Examples

Here is an example of the mediank opcode. It uses the file mediank.csd.
