In this method, we've got introduced a new technique for the improvement of gray scale images, when images are corrupted by salt and pepper noise that's additionally referred to as an impulse noise. Our suggested phenomena show a better output for Medium density impulse noise as compare to the opposite renowned filters like standard Median Filter (SMF), a decision based mostly Median Filter (DBMF) and modified decision based Median Filter (MDBMF), Nonlinear filter (NLF) and so on. Our projected technique worked on two steps, within the beginning is that the detection of noisy pixels and within the second step is that the removal of noisy pixels. For detection of noisy constituent apply condition pixels values lies in between 0 to 255 it noisy it's noisy free pixels. In our second step that's the removal of noisy pixel recommended technique that's replaces the noisy pixel by alpha trimmed mean median value. Different grayscale pictures are tested via proposed technique. The experimental result shows higher Peak Signal to Noise ratio (PSNR) values and with higher visual and human perception.

In the field of image processing, removal of noise from Gray scale as well as RGB images is an ambitious task. The important function of noise removal algorithm is to eliminate noise from a noisy image. The salt and pepper noise (SPN) is frequently arising into Gray scale and RGB images while capturing, acquiring and transmitting over the insecure several communication mechanisms. In past, the numerous noise removal methods have been introduced to extract the noise from images adulterated with SPN. The proposed work introduces the SPN removal algorithm for Gray scale at low along with high density noise (10\% to 90\%). According to the different conditions of proposed algorithm, the noisy pixel is reconstructed by Winsorized mean or mean value of all pixels except the centre pixel which are present in the processing window. The noise from an image can be removed by using the proposed algorithm without degrading the quality of image. The performance evaluation of proposed and modified decision based unsymmetric median filter (MDBUTMF) is done on the basis of different performance parameters such as Peak Signal to Noise Ratio (PSNR), Mean Square Error (MSE), Image Enhancement Factor (IEF) and Structure Similarity Index Measurement (SSIM).

A modified decision based unsymmetrical trimmed median filter algorithm for the restoration of gray scale, and color images that are highly corrupted by salt and pepper noise is proposed in this paper. Images are often corrupted by impulse noise during acquisition and transmission; thus, an efficient noise suppression technique is required before subsequent image processing operations. Median filter (MF) is widely used in noise removal methods due to its denoising capability and computational efficiency. However, it is effective only for low noise densities. Extensive experimental results demonstrate that our method can obtain better performances in terms of both subjective and objective evaluations than denoising techniques. Especially, the proposed method can preserve edges very well while removing salt and pepper noise. Modified Decision Based Algorithm (MDBA), and Progressive Switched Median Filter (PSMF) shows better results at low and medium noise densities. At high noise densities, their performance is poor. A new algorithm to remove high-density salt and pepper noise using modified Decision Based Unsymmetric Trimmed Median Filter (DBUTMF) is proposed. The proposed algorithm replaces the noisy pixel by trimmed median. Since our algorithm is algorithmically simple, it is very suitable to be applied to many real-time applications and higher noise densities. When all the pixel values are 0’s and 255’s then the noise pixel is replaced by mean value of all the elements present in the selected window. The proposed algorithm is tested against different grayscale and color images and it gives better Peak Signal-to-Noise Ratio (PSNR) and Image Enhancement Factor (IEF).

Nowadays, during the process of Image acquisition and transmission, image information data can be corrupted by impulse noise. That noise is classified as salt and pepper noise and random impulse noise depending on the noise values. A median filter is widely used digital nonlinear filter  in edge preservation, removing of impulse noise and smoothing of signals. Median filter is the widely used to remove salt and pepper noise than rank order filter, morphological filter, and unsharp masking filter. The median filter replaces a sample with the middle value among all the samples present inside the sample window. A median filter will be of two types depending on the number of samples processed at the same cycle i.e, bit level architecture and word level architecture.. In this paper, Carry Look-ahead Adder median filter method will be introduced to improve the hardware resources used in median filter architecture for 5 window and 9 window for 8 bit and 16 bit median filter architecture.

In this work, a procedure to remove the high density salt and pepper noise from a corrupted image is developed and to compare the output image with the original image through the image quality metrics. As a common practice the corrupted pixels are replaced by the median of neighboring pixel values by considering a constant number of neighboring pixels. But in this proposed method the corrupted pixels are identified and are replaced by the median of the neighboring pixel values which are adjustable, to preserve and improve the image quality metrics. This method makes a comparison between the corrupted and uncorrupted pixels and performs the median filtering process only on the corrupted ones. In this work a 3x3, 5x5 and 7x7 square neighborhood are used. The output images are observed with low neighborhood as well as high neighborhood pixel values. The calculation of PSNR (Peak Signal to Noise Ratio) and MSE (Mean square error) value for each dimension with different percentages are considered for the comparative analysis

In this paper a spatially growing modified median filter method has been proposed for the restoration of digital videos which are adulterated by the saturated impulse noise i.e., salt-and pepper noise. The proposed denoising process executes filtering action only to the corrupted pixels in the video keeping noise free pixels in the video unharmed. The current study has used a spatially growing window method for the exclusion of high density noise present in the digital videos. It has used sliding window of increasing dimension centered at any pixel and sequentially swapped the noise corrupted pixels by the median value of the trimmed window. However, if the whole pixels in the window are noise corrupted then the dimension of sliding window is enlarged in order to obtained the noise free pixels for median computing. At the same time, this process has been found to be capable to removing the high density salt and pepper noise and also well preserved the fine details of the videos. Experimentally, it has been found that the proposed method generate enhanced PSNR and SSIM results

The paper focuses on the evacuation of salt and pepper noise from a contaminated image. A probabilistic decision based average trimmed filter (PDBATF) is proposed for both high and low noise density. The proposed algorithm addresses the issue related to even number of noise-free pixel in trimmed median filter for the calculation of processing pixel. The proposed average trimmed filter is incorporated for low noise density while the proposed patch else average trimmed filter is applied for high noise density. Finally, they are combined together to develop the proposed PDBATF. The proposed algorithm show an excellent noise removal capability compared to the recently developed algorithms in terms of peak signal to noise ratio, image enhancement factor, mean absolute error and execution time. It works very efficiently in de-noising contaminated medical images such as chest-x-ray and malaria-blood-smear.
