Nonlinear filters are types of filters used in signal processing and image processing that operate on data in a way that is not linear. Unlike linear filters, which apply a linear transformation to the input (such as convolution with a kernel), nonlinear filters apply operations that depend on the values of the input signal in a way that does not adhere to the principles of superposition (i.e., the output is not simply the sum of the inputs).
