The proposed approach is a nonlinearly modified version of the classical nonparametric regression estimates utilizing the concept of vertical weighting. The method unifies a number of known nonlinear image filtering and denoising algorithms such as bilateral and steering kernel filters. It is shown that vertically weighted filters can be realized by a structure of three interconnected radial basis function (RBF) networks. We also assess the performance of the algorithm by studying industrial images.}, type={artykuł}, title={Nonlinear image processing and filtering: A unified approach based on vertically weighted regression}, keywords={image filtering, vertically weighted regression, nonlinear filters}, }
