In this paper we consider the effect of median prefiltering on the subsequent estimation and detection of edges in digital images. Where possible, a quantitative statistical comparison is made for a number of filters defined with two-dimensional geometries; in some cases one-dimensional analyses are required to illustrate certain points. Noise images prefiltered by median filters defined with a variety of windowing geometries are used to support the analysis, and it is found that median prefiltering improves the performance of both thresholding and zero-crossing based edge detectors.
