The ring filter is defined as a median filter which assigns weight only to select pixels in an annulus. Its advantage is that it has a sharply-defined scale length; that is, all objects with a scale-size less than the radius of the ring are filtered and replaced by the local background level. It provides a fast, simple and intuitive method to remove the small-scale objects (independent of morphology) from a digital image, leaving behind the large-scale objects and overall light gradients. The ring filter is much faster than the more commonly used filled-box median filter, and completes in one or two passes what previously required a long iterative procedure. Several examples of its use are presented. (SECTION: Computing and Data Analysis)
