A Survey on Various Median Filtering Techniques For Removal of Impulse Noise From Digital Image

Abstract

The elimination of noise from images becomes a trending field in image processing. Imagesmay got corrupted by random change in pixel intensity, illumination, or due to poor contrast and can't be used directly. Therefore, it is necessary to get rid of impulse noise presented inan image. In order to remove such impulse noise, Median based filters are commonly used. However, we use various types of median filters such as recursive median filter, iterative median filter, directional median filter, weighted median filter, adaptive median filter progressive switching median filter and threshold median filter. This paper will survey various median filtering techniques for excluding noisy pixel from a digital image.
