IMPULSIVE NOISE DIMINUTION USING NEW ADAPTIVE VECTOR MEDIAN RATIONAL HYBRID FILTER

To ameliorate the quality of filtering, we studied in this paper, the adaptive approach applied in multichannel images. So, we have proposed an Adaptive Vector Median Rational Hybrid Filter (AVMRHF). This filter is based on Adaptive Vector Median Filters (AVMF) and a Vector Rational Function (VRF). The analysis and experimental results reported in this paper indicate that the proposed filter is able to remove impulsive noise in color images. Also, this new filter (AVMRHF) provides better performances comparing with the classic version VMRHF. Indeed, we note an average percentage of 70% of improvement with regard to the NCD parameter between the new filter and the classic one.
