Getting the Median Faster
نویسنده
چکیده
Median filters and rank-order filters are generally considered to be more time consuming than, e.g., averaging filters. With the new algorithm presented in this report the opposite turns out to be true. The median (or any other rank-order value) is obtained by examining the bits of the arguments columnwise starting with the most significant bits. Hardware implementations suitable for parallel processing are presented.

Employees' contributions to their premiums climbed by 93 percent over that time frame. At the same time, deductibles more than doubled in both large and small firms. Workers are thus ...
متن کاملSeveral Incomplete Sort Algorithms for Getting the Median Value
To quickly get the median value of any given sequence is very important in many research fields. Some popular sort algorithms are discussed in this paper. Selection sort algorithm and bubble sort algorithm are redesigned as incomplete sort algorithms to quickly give the median value of randomly given sequence. In the new algorithms, only parts of the items in sequence need to be sorted to give ...
