A Novel Filter for Salt and Pepper Noise using Adaptive Interpolation Technique

An interpolation technique with edge sensing and adaptive window size is proposed for restoration of images that are highly corrupted by salt and pepper noise. The new technique shows significantly better image quality than Standard Median Filter, Adaptive Median Filter, Decision Based Algorithm, Progressive Switched Median Filter, Decision Based Unsymmetric Trimmed Median Filter and Modified Decision Based Unsymmetric Trimmed Median Filter. The Proposed technique is tested against different images and it gives better Peak Signal-to-Noise Ratio. General Terms Impulse Noise, Interpolation.
