Abstract

Digital images can be corrupted by impulse noise. An effort has been made to remove impulse noise from the digital images. The impulse noise can be added to consumer based like television and digital cameras. The algorithm to remove impulse noise from digital images must be simple and remove noise efficiently and at the same time must also retain the details of an image.
