Learning outcomes

Student will become familiar with some basic nonlinear filtering techniques and will also know how and when to use them.

Content

Content	Core content	Complementary knowledge	Specialist knowledge
1.	median type filters
2.	review of estimation theory (maximum likelihood and M-estimators) and L-, M- and R-filters
3.	trimmed mean, C-, ranked-order and weighted order statistic filters
4.	edge-enhancing selective, rank selection and weighted majority of m values with minimum range filters
5.	nonlinear mean and stack filters (and generalizations)
6.	(soft) morphological, polynomial, data-dependent, decision-based filters
7.	iterative, cascaded and recursive filters
8.	several minor filter classes

Evaluation criteria for the course

Course is graded on the basis of answers to exam questions. Course acceptance threshold is approx. half the maximum exam points. Classroom exercise activity gives bonus points which are added to exam points in the three exams of this implementation of the course.

Assessment scale:

Numerical evaluation scale (1-5) will be used on the course

Partial passing:

Completion parts must belong to the same implementation
