Summary:The basic nonlinear operation in median filtering is a sorting of
the input data vector. An analog structure for this filtering operation
is presented. The sorting operation is embedded in a matrix-valued
ordinary differential equation (ODE). The data to be sorted serve as
initial values for the ODE. To induce the dynamics of the system a small
perturbation is necessary. The circuit structure for the analog median
filter consists of basic processing cells containing multipliers,
integrators, and adders, arranged in an one-dimensional array. All
connections are local only and no external control is necessary
