Frequency Selective Filtering Using Weighted Order Statistic Admitting Real-valued Weights
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, a weighted order statistic (WOS) filtering structure admitting real-valued weights is introduced. The proposed filtering approach can effectively address a number of signal and image processing applications that require robust bandpass or highpass operations where the underlying contamination follows a nonsymmetric heavy-tailed distribution. The effect of negative weighting in the filtering operation is studied under a statistical viewpoint using a weight monotonic test. Furthermore, an adaptive optimization algorithm for the design of this class of WOS filters is also introduced. Several computer simulations show the performance of the proposed filtering structure.

Robust Frequency - Selective Filtering usingWeighted Myriad Filters
Weighted Myriad Smoothers have recently been proposed as a class of nonlinear l-ters for robust non-Gaussian signal processing in impulsive noise environments. However , weighted myriad smoothers are severely limited, since their weights are restricted to be non-negative. This constraint makes them unusable in bandpass or highpass ltering applications which require negative lter weights. Furthe...
متن کاملA generalized weighted median filter structure admitting real-valued weights
Weighted median filters (smoothers) have been shown to be analogous to normalized FIR linear filters constrained to have only positive weights. In this paper, it is shown that much like the mean is generalized to the rich class of linear FIR filters, the median can be generalized to a richer class of weighted median (WM) filters admitting positive and negative weights. The generalization follow...
متن کاملA general weighted median filter structure admitting negative weights
Weighted median smoothers, which were introduced by Edgemore in the context of least absolute regression over 100 years ago, have received considerable attention in signal processing during the past two decades. Although weighted median smoothers offer advantages over traditional linear finite impulse response (FIR) filters, it is shown in this paper that they lack the flexibility to adequately...
متن کاملAffine order statistic filters: a data-adaptive filtering framework for nonstationary signals
We introduce a novel, data-adaptive, and robust ltering framework: a ne order-statistic lters. A ne order-statistics relate classical order-statistics to observations in their natural order and thus inherently yield a meaningful data representation. A ne order-statistic lters exploit this notion to adaptively process nonstationary signals. A ne order-statistic lters overcome many of the limitat...
متن کاملWeighted Order Statistic Classifiers with Large Rank-Order Margin
We investigate how stack filter function classes like weighted order statistics can be applied to classification problems. This leads to a new design criteria for linear classifiers when inputs are binary-valued and weights are positive. We present a rank-based measure of margin that is directly optimized as a standard linear program and investigate its relationship to regularization. Our appro...
