====== Video filter Median (5x5) ======

This is a version of the Median filter that takes a 5x5 matrix instead of a 3x3 one. The strong smoothing is especially efficient on analog video (e.g. captured from VHS) with chroma noise, rainbow effects (e.g. white credits on black background at the end of a movie) etc.(nbsp)(ndash) Median 5x5 applied only on chroma greatly reduces these artifacts.

Example - analog video with strong chroma noise:

Convolution filters applied on chroma clean it up:
