The filter increases the brightness of each pixel in the input image and then applies a threshold condition that zeroes out values exceeding a preset value. Although the filter is lossy, we demonstrate improved learning performance under some use cases.}, url = {https://paperview.spp-online.org/proceedings/article/view/SPP-2018-PB-47}, author = {Vidal Wyatt M.
