Coordinate logic filters and their applications in image processing and pattern recognition (Q1272638): Difference between revisions

This paper presents a new type of nonlinear digital filters based on the execution of coordinate logic (CL) operations. The advantage of these CL filters is their high speed implementation and simplicity, because they use only Boolean logic operations, whereas morphological filters require repetitive time-consuming sorting operations. The definitions and properties of CL operators are provided, and the basic CL filters for various applications are derived. These filters show high efficiency in 1D, 2D, or higher-dimensional digital signal processing applications. A focus is made on image processing including edge extraction, noise removal, image magnification, and pattern recognition.
