//! Median filtering functions for n-dimensional arrays

use scirs2_core::ndarray::{Array, Dimension};

/// Apply a median filter to an n-dimensional array
///
/// This function applies a median filter to each element of an array by replacing
/// it with the median value within a window defined by the kernel size. This is
/// particularly effective for removing impulse noise (salt and pepper noise) while
/// preserving edges better than linear filters.
///
/// The implementation leverages the optimized rank filter with automatic selection
/// of specialized algorithms for different data types and window sizes.
///
/// # Arguments
///
/// * `input` - Input array to filter
/// * `size` - Size of the filter kernel in each dimension (must be positive)
/// * `mode` - Border handling mode (defaults to Reflect)
///
/// # Returns
///
/// * `Result<Array<T, D>>` - Filtered array with the same shape as input
///
/// # Examples
///
/// ## Basic 1D noise removal
/// ```
/// use scirs2_core::ndarray::Array1;
/// use scirs2_ndimage::filters::{median_filter, BorderMode};
///
/// // Remove impulse noise from a 1D signal
/// let noisy_signal = Array1::from_vec(vec![1.0, 2.0, 100.0, 4.0, 5.0]);
/// let filtered = median_filter(&noisy_signal, &[3], None).unwrap();
/// assert_eq!(filtered[2], 4.0); // Outlier replaced by median
/// ```
///
/// ## 2D image denoising
/// ```
/// use scirs2_core::ndarray::Array2;
/// use scirs2_ndimage::filters::{median_filter, BorderMode};
///
/// // Create a noisy image with salt-and-pepper noise
/// let mut image = Array2::from_shape_fn((100, 100), |(i, j)| {
///     ((i + j) as f64 / 10.0).sin()
/// });
///
/// // Add some impulse noise
/// image[[10, 10]] = 1000.0;  // salt noise
/// image[[20, 20]] = -1000.0; // pepper noise
///
/// // Apply 3x3 median filter to remove noise
/// let denoised = median_filter(&image, &[3, 3], Some(BorderMode::Reflect)).unwrap();
///
/// // Verify noise removal while preserving edges
/// assert!(denoised[[10, 10]].abs() < 10.0); // noise removed
/// assert_eq!(denoised.shape(), image.shape()); // shape preserved
/// ```
///
/// ## Different window sizes for varying noise levels
/// ```
/// use scirs2_core::ndarray::Array2;
/// use scirs2_ndimage::filters::median_filter;
///
/// let noisyimage = Array2::from_shape_fn((50, 50), |(i, j)| {
///     if (i + j) % 10 == 0 { 255.0 } else { (i * j) as f64 }
/// });
///
/// // Light denoising with small window
/// let light_filter = median_filter(&noisyimage, &[3, 3], None).unwrap();
///
/// // Heavy denoising with larger window  
/// let heavy_filter = median_filter(&noisyimage, &[5, 5], None).unwrap();
///
/// // Very aggressive denoising (may blur edges)
/// let aggressive_filter = median_filter(&noisyimage, &[7, 7], None).unwrap();
/// ```
///
/// ## 3D volume processing
/// ```
/// use scirs2_core::ndarray::Array3;
/// use scirs2_ndimage::filters::median_filter;
///
/// let volume = Array3::from_shape_fn((20, 20, 20), |(i, j, k)| {
///     if i == 10 && j == 10 && k == 10 { 1000.0 } else { (i + j + k) as f64 }
/// });
///
/// // Apply 3D median filter
/// let filtered_volume = median_filter(&volume, &[3, 3, 3], None).unwrap();
/// assert_eq!(filtered_volume.shape(), volume.shape());
/// ```
///
/// # Performance Notes
///
/// - For f32 arrays with window sizes 3 or 5, uses optimized SIMD implementations
/// - Automatically enables parallel processing for large arrays (> 10,000 elements)
/// - For very large windows, consider using percentile_filter with 50th percentile
///   which may offer better cache locality
///
/// # ⚠️ Known Issues
///
/// **WARNING**: Border handling for this filter has known discrepancies with SciPy's
/// implementation. Results near array boundaries may differ from scipy.ndimage.median_filter.
/// This is being tracked for v0.2.0. For strict SciPy compatibility, validate results
/// carefully when boundary values are critical.
