- Encoding of image sequences is today a standard task for computers and home entertainment systems. The input material is often of shifting quality, i.e. corrupted by noise in various ways. In order to store the information in an effective way some kind of compression has to be applied. When video compression is applied on an image sequence, the result is sub optimal due to the introduced noise variations. This paper presents a new cubic median filter suitable for pre-processing of noise contaminated video sequences. The presented approach reduces the bit usage for MPEG-2 encoding with up to 62% for impulse noise impaired sequences and 38% for the corresponding Gaussian.
