A new family of adaptive nonlinear filters that use fuzzy membership functions based on different distance measures is proposed for color image processing. The proposed filters constitute a fuzzy generalization of well known multichannel filters. The principle behind the new filters is explained and comparisons with other nonlinear filters are provided. Color images corrupted with different types of noise are used to assess the performance of the proposed filters. Simulation results indicate that the new filters offer some flexibility and have excellent performance.
