Abstract

A method, apparatus, and computer usable program code for signal-to-noise enhancement. In one illustrative embodiment, a system is provided for signal-to-noise enhancement. The system includes a rank order filter and a comparator. The comparator receives an ordered set of data values from the rank order filter. A signal averager averages a subset of data values selected from the ordered set of data values by the comparator.
