This chapter deals with a novel approach which aims at detection and filtering of impulses in digital images through unsupervised classification of pixels. This approach coagulates directional weighted median filtering with unsupervised pixel classification based adaptive window selection toward detection and filtering of impulses in digital images. K-means based clustering algorithm has been utilized to detect the noisy pixels based adaptive window selection to restore the impulses. Adaptive median filtering approach has been proposed to obtain best possible restoration results. Results demonstrating the effectiveness of the proposed technique are provided for numeric intensity values described in terms of feature vectors. Various benchmark digital images are used to show the restoration results in terms of PSNR (dB) and visual effects which conform better restoration of images through proposed technique.
