Using a median filter to reduce noise on an image with python. This year I've been very busy with a lot of stuff at my job and homework from my master's degree. Recently, I had to do an activity that I really liked, and I wanted to share it on my personal blog. We were experimenting with different kinds of filters for images to achieve noise reduction; there is a wide range of filters and tools designed for this purpose, but this time I'm focusing on a very simple filter called the "median" filter. The median filter, as the name implies, makes use of a very known mathematical tool with the same name in order to decide which value applies to the pixel is going to filter. What is the Median Filter? The median filter, as the name implies, makes use of a well-known mathematical tool—the median—to decide which value to apply when filtering a pixel. Back to the basics... I already started to talk about filters and calculate the median but let's go back a minute and...
