Ll-filters-a new class of order statistic filters

The Ll-filters are introduced to generate the order statistic filters (L-filters) and the nonrecursive linear, or finite-duration impulse-response (FIR), filters. Such estimators are particularly effective filtering signals that do not necessarily follow Gaussian distributions. They can be designed to restore one-dimensional or multidimensional signals corrupted by noise of impulsive type. Such filters are appealing since they are suitable for being made robust against the presence of spurious outliers in the data. >
