High Density Salt and Pepper Noise Filter based on Shepard Interpolation Method

Abstract

This paper has proposed the technique in order to remove saltand-pepper noise from the corrupted image. The proposed scheme consists of two steps. The first, the adaptive median filter is applied to noisy image for detecting noisy and noise-free pixels. Finally, the output image of previous step will be divided into many non-overlapping windows of which the noise-free pixel values are used to compute the new pixel value by the Shepard method. The experiment results of our approach had shown the better performance than the existing method.
