An improved switching median filter for impulse noise removal

Improved progressive switching median filter proposed for salt-and-pepper impulse noise removal from digital images. Results of comparative analysis of this algorithm with other filters for impulse noise removal show a high efficiency of this approach relatively to other ones.
