Adaptive modification of the vector median filter
Bogdan Smołka · Machine Graphics & Vision International Journal archive · 2002
In this paper we address the problem of impulsive noise reduction in color images. A new, simple but efficient, filter for noise attenuation is introduced, and its relationship with commonly used techniques is investigated. The computational complexity of the new filter is shown to be lower than that of the Vector Median Filter (VMF). The experiments indicate that the new filter outperforms the VMF, as well as other basic procedures used in color image processing for elimination of impulsive noise.
