Combinations of Digital Filters
All the filters described above can be combined. By collecting best
parts of every filter one can create, at least in theory, a very
good hybrid filter. Thresholding and equalization, for example, could be
combined with derivatives. Simple heuristic rules can also
be appended to the filters to make them more intelligent,
to react only to certain patterns.
Combinations of a few selected digital filters are presented here.
Thresholding and histogram equalization with some edge-enhancing
algorithms prove as quite useful combinations.
