Description

The Median Filter block computes the moving median of the input signal

along each channel independently over time. The block uses the sliding window method to

compute the moving median. In this method, a window of specified length moves over each

channel sample by sample, and the block computes the median of the data in the window.

This block performs median filtering on the input data over time. For more details, see

Algorithms.

Ports

Input

Port_1 — Data input

column vector | row vector | matrix

Data over which the block computes moving median. The block accepts

real-valued or complex-valued multichannel inputs, that is,

m-by-n size inputs, where

m ≥ 1, and n ≥ 1. The block

also accepts variable-size inputs. During simulation, you can change the

size of each input channel. However, the number of channels cannot

change.

Data Types:single | double

Complex Number Support:Yes

Output

Port_1 — Moving median output

column vector | row vector | matrix

The size of the moving median output matches the size of the input.

The block uses the sliding window method to compute the moving median.

For more details, see Algorithms.

Data Types:single | double

Complex Number Support:Yes

Parameters

Window length — Length of the sliding window

5 (default) | positive scalar integer

Window length specifies the length of the sliding

window in samples.

Simulate using — Type of simulation to run

Code generation (default) | Interpreted execution

Code generation

Simulate model using generated C code. The first time you run

a simulation, Simulink® generates C code for the block. The C code is

reused for subsequent simulations, as long as the model does not

change. This option requires additional startup time but

provides faster simulation speed

than Interpreted

execution.

Interpreted execution

Simulate model using the MATLAB®  interpreter. This option shortens startup

time but has slower simulation speed than Code

generation.

Algorithms

Sliding Window Method

In the sliding window method, the output for each input sample is the median of the current

sample and the Len - 1 previous samples. Len is the

length of the window in samples. To compute the first Len - 1 outputs,

when the window does not have enough data yet, the algorithm fills the window with zeros. As

an example, to compute the median value when the second input sample comes in, the algorithm

fills the window with Len - 2 zeros. The data vector,

x, is then the two data samples followed by Len -

2 zeros. This object performs median filtering on the input data over time.

Consider an example of computing the moving median of a streaming

input data using the sliding window method. The algorithm uses a window

length of 4. With each input sample that comes in, the window of length

4 moves along the data.
