Title: Removal of Salt and Pepper noise from Gray-Scale and Color Images: An Adaptive Approach,
Abstract: An efficient adaptive algorithm for the removal of Salt and Pepper noise from
gray scale and color image is presented in this paper. In this proposed method
first a 3X3 window is taken and the central pixel of the window is considered
as the processing pixel. If the processing pixel is found as uncorrupted, then
it is left unchanged. And if the processing pixel is found corrupted one, then
the window size is increased according to the conditions given in the proposed
algorithm. Finally the processing pixel or the central pixel is replaced by
either the mean, median or trimmed value of the elements in the current window
depending upon different conditions of the algorithm. The proposed algorithm
efficiently removes noise at all densities with better Peak Signal to Noise
Ratio (PSNR) and Image Enhancement Factor (IEF). The proposed algorithm is
compared with different existing algorithms like MF, AMF, MDBUTMF, MDBPTGMF and
AWMF.
