Abstract
According to one embodiment, an imaging system includes an interface, a plurality of filters, and a processor. The interface receives data blocks. The processor associates each data block with a processing step list that represents a filter chain that has at least a subset of the filters coupled in sequence. The processor filters each data block according to the filter chain represented by the associated processing step list.
Claims17
An apparatus comprising:
- an interface configured to receive a plurality of data blocks;
- a plurality of filters, each filter configured to filter data;
- and
- a processor configured to perform the following for each data block:
- associate each data block with a processing step list of a plurality of processing step lists based on an interference or set of interferences to be suppressed, each processing step list representing a filter chain comprising at least a subset of the plurality of filters coupled in a processing sequence;
- and
- filter each data block according to the filter chain represented by the associated processing step list by:
- performing the following for each filter descriptor pointed to by the associated processing step list:
- determining a filter pointed to by a subject filter descriptor of the each filter descriptor;
- and
- filtering the data block using the filter and a specific set of filter parameters, the specific set of filter parameters associated with the subject filter descriptor of the each filter descriptor.
