Impulse Detectors for Noised Sequences

Abstract

This paper is focused on a problem of impulse detection in the dynamic image environments corrupted by impulse noise. Using a proposed architecture that includes an impulse detector and the median filter, the effective methods can be designed. Thus, the image points are classified into two classes such as a class of noise free samples and a class of noised image points. In the case of impulse detection the estimate is performed by a median filter whereas a noise free sample is passed on the output without the change i.e. system works as an identity filter.
