A New Spatial Domain Filter for Impulse Noise Removal with Improved Accuracy Based on Multiple Conditions

Abstract

Numerous filtering methods are proposed for Impulse noise removal, it is an important task in the field of image restoration. The familiar spatial domain algorithm to remove impulse noise is Standard Median Filter (SMF). Most of the existing algorithms are based on median filtering and recent algorithms are Modified Hybrid Median Filter (MHMF) and New Modified Hybrid Median Filter (NMHMF). These two are worked up to 20% noise density. In this paper proposed a new` algorithm for impulse noise removal above 20% noise density conditions with different samples of images. The implementation of proposed method compares with known existing methods by comparing Mean Square Error (MSE) and Peak Signal to Noise Ratio (PSNR).
