The quality of digital image can be seriously deteriorated by the corruption of impulse noise. How to efficiently remove this noise for a corrupted image is an important research task. This paper proposes a new method to remove the salt-and-pepper noise by keeping the minimum variation in neighbor pixels when mean filtering is performed. This enables the noise corrupted image to be efficiently restored. In addition, the motion direction is maintained to be consistent for the edge pixels of an object, yielding the quality of restored image being improved. Experimental results show that the proposed method can efficiently remove the salt-and-pepper noise for a corrupted image in low to middle noise densities. |
