Image Filtering Algorithms and Techniques: A Review

-This paperdescribes the various image filtering algorithms and techniques used for image filtering/smoothing. Image smoothing is one of the most important and widely used operation in image processing .We have explained various algorithms and techniques for filter the images and which algorithm is the be the best for smoothing and filtering the images, especially we have mainly concentrate on non-linear filtering algorithms i.e. median filtering is very important in edge preserving. The image may be corrupted by random variations in intensity, variations in illumination or poor contrast that may be dealt with in early stages of vision processing.
