Maximum Filter


The Maximum Filter is a type of Rank Filter that replaces pixel values with the 100th percentile ranked, or maximum, value identified in the local neighborhood. Use this filter to remove values below the local statistical "ceiling". In comparison, the Minimum Filter selects the 0-th percentile, or minimum, value in the neighborhood.
