Description This function will filter the image by the nonlinear midpoint filter method. This function works for only monochrome, 8 bit per pixel and 24 bit per pixel images. The midpoint filter is typically used to filter images containing short tailed noise such as Gaussian and uniform type noises. The midpoint filter is defined as :
where the coordinate (x+i, y+j ) is defined over the image A and the coordinate (i, j) is defined over the N x N size square mask.
