A low-complexity 3D spatio-temporal FIR filter for enhancing linear trajectory signals

A low-complexity 3D FIR filter is proposed for selectively enhancing severely corrupted linear trajectory spatio-temporal signals. The proposed 3D FIR filter is separable and consists of a 3D spatio-temporal wide-angle FIR cone filter between two 2D spatial variable-shift filters. Low complexity of the 3D spatio-temporal wide-angle FIR cone filter is achieved by exploiting the spatial-symmetry of the passband and by employing maximal decimation in the temporal dimension. Compared to existing techniques, the proposed 3D FIR filter provides significant reduction of the computational complexity for similar SINR improvement.
