problem using medfilt2

5 views (last 30 days)
Attached you can find the data. Please rename .csv to .dat, and just use:
load cond2a.dat
Ax=cond2a(:,1);
Ay=cond2a(:,2);
Az=cond2a(:,3);
Znew=medfilt2(Az);
The file contains xyz with z values around 169. But using medfilt2 at the four corners the data is 0. How can I prevend this?
Thanks a lot,
Harry

Your Az vector is mainly concentrated around 169, therefore normal median filtering destroys the sudden peaks. Using Padding option as 'symmetric' might help. Refer the code below.
load cond2a.dat
Ax = cond2a(:, 1);
Ay = cond2a(:, 2);
Az = cond2a(:, 3);
Znew = medfilt2(Az, 'symmetric');
figure; plot(Az);
hold on;
plot(Znew);
legend({'Original Data', 'Median filtered data'});

thanks a lot for your help, especially for pointing out the option 'symmetric'. Harry
