In this paper, a new Decision Based median filtering algorithm is presented for the removal of impulse noise from digital images.Here, we replace the impulse noise corrupted pixel by the median of the pixel scanned in four directions.The signal restoration scheme of this filter adapts to the varied impulse noise ratios while determining an appropriate signal restorer from a reliable neighbourhood.The experimental results of this filter applied on various images corrupted with almost all ratios of impulse noise favour the filter in terms of objectivity and subjectivity than many of the other prominent impulse noise filters.
