The aim of this work is to introduce the concepts of IMTL-filters and strong MTL-filters in MTL-algebras and show that these filters are related to IMTL-algebras and strong MTL-algebras, respectively. We also introduce the concepts of EIMTL and associative filters in MTL-algebras. The relationships between these filters and quotient algebras that are constructed via these filters are described....

Half-band (HB) filters are of great importance and are often used in multirate digital signal processing systems, filter banks and wavelets. In this paper, a new closed-form expression for the transfer function of the maximally flat (MF) infinite-impulse response (IIR) HB filters is presented. The filter coefficients are directly obtained by solving a linear system of Vandermonde equations that...

This paper deals with the notion of connectivity in viscous lattices. In particular, a new family of morphological connected filters, called connected viscous filters is proposed. Connected viscous filters are completely determined by two criteria: size parameter and connectivity. The connection of these filters is defined on viscous lattices in such a way that they verify several properties of...

Center weighted median (CWM) filters, which have been recognized as detail preserving filters, are an important and the simplest subclass of weighted median (WM) filters. In this paper, we analyze the root signals of two-dimensional (2-D) CWM filters. In particular, we derive the required form for a signal to be a root of a 2-D CWM filter. The required form of signals to be roots is then used t...
