Abstract

An adaptive median filter system is disclosed. Circuitry is arranged to produce successive sets of samples from an input signal which may possibly include noise. An adaptive median filter filters the samples in response to a control signal. Further circuitry estimates the relative density of the noise in the input signal to generate the control signal supplied to the adaptive median filter.
