  • Determining median value of an array on vector SIMD architectures
    Patent number: 9665542
    Abstract: A method for determining a median value of an array of pixels in a vision system may be performed in an efficient manner using the parallel computing capabilities of a SIMD processing engine. Each column of an array may be sorted in ascending (descending) order to form a first sorted array. Each row of the first sorted array may be sorted in ascending (descending) order to form a second sorted array. A pixel may be selected as the median value from a diagonal portion of the second sorted array, wherein the diagonal portion bisects a lower value region and a higher value region of the second sorted array.
