Output distributions of two-dimensional median filters

The output distribution for the separable two-dimensional median filter and the square window two-dimensional median filter are derived for several cases, including first-order and multivariate output distributions with white noise, signals plus white noise, and general multivariate input images. These are then used to compute some specific statistics in several illustrative examples.
