Abstract

Aperture filters are a recently introduced class of nonlinear filters used in image processing. In this paper we present a new approach for aperture filter design, improving operator performance with respect to the MSE measure by releasing some of the operator constraints without losing statistical estimation accuracy. With the use of the proposed methods an average of 34% MSE reduction was achieved for deblurring, whereas a standard aperture operator reduced the error by only 10% on the average.
