So here is a gripe. When I first sent a paper on all to a reputable journal I wrote just that ('... falls apart ...') and the paper was all about how to fix it - sieves. The reviewer rejected the paper because 'everyone knows that median filters aren't useful so how could a stack of them be any better'. Well - that's exactly what the paper was about. Oh well, get over it. Write it more clearly, etc. etc. So here is the paper. The implementation is very literal and slow. Each stage is run and re-run to idempotency. I called the filter a data-sieve. The twists in this story is firstly to switch to multiple pass median filters(Bangham, 1993)<ref>Bangham, J. Andrew, "Properties of a Series of Nested Median Filters, Namely the Data Sieve," IEEE Trans Sig. Process. Vol. 41. NO. I. Jan 1993</ref>, then being excited enough to look for something faster/better: 'recursive median filters' and sieves.
