Name

fractile - noise reduction filtering

Syntax

fractile <inimage> <outimage> fractile [<dx> [<dy>]]

Description

Fractile noise filtering with window dx * dy using the histogram updating technique.

Sorts all pixels within the window and picks the fractile pixel. fractile = 1/dx/dy gives min-filter, fractile = 0.5 gives median filter, and fractile = 1.0-1/dx/dy gives max-filter.

fractile must be non-negative and maximum 1.0. Default value for dx is 3, for dy it is dx.
