Abstract
Removing the noise from digital color images plays a vital role in many of the image processing applications. Salt and Pepper noise is one type of the impulse noise which corrupts images during image capture or transmission or storage etc. This paper proposes and implements a new decision based median filter using cloud model to restore the highly corrupted digital color images. The proposed filter is tested on different images and shows better performance than standard median filter, adaptive median filter, decision based median filter and modified decision based median filter in terms of root mean square error, peak signal to noise ratio and image quality index.
