Rank filter is a non-linear filter used in image processing for impulse noise removal, morphological operations, and image enhancement. Real-time applications, such as video and high-speed acquisition cameras, often require the rank filter, and the much simpler median filter. Implementing the rank filter in hardware, can achieve the required speeds for these applications. Bit-serial algorithm c...

In this paper we propose an efficient approach to design high-speed digital filters with low power consumption which is based on power supply voltage scaling and exploiting the excess speed that may be obtained by using maximally fast recursive filter structures. We also discuss several techniques to increase and obtain the maximal sample rate for recursive structures based on frequency masking...
