Abstract: - linear digital filters, based on order statistics are median filters. Median filters are known for their capability to remove impulse noise without damaging the edges. Median filters are known for their capability to remove impulse noise as well as preserve the edges. The effective removal of impulse often leads to images with blurred and distorted features. Ideally, the filtering should be applied only to corrupted pixels while leaving uncorrupted pixels intact. Applying median filter unconditionally across the entire image as practiced in the conventional schemes would inevitably alter the intensities and remove the signal details of uncorrupted pixels. Therefore, a noise-detection process to discriminate between uncorrupted pixels and the corrupted pixels prior to applying nonlinear filtering is highly desirable. Adaptive Median is a “decision-based” or “switching” filter that first identifies possible noisy pixels and then replaces them using the median filter or its variants, while leaving all other pixels unchanged. This filter is good at detecting noise even at a high noise level. The adaptive structure of this filter ensures that most of the impulse noises are detected
