High Salt and Pepper Noise Ratio Reduction

Colored digital images are affected by salt and pepper noise, affecting their clarity, contents and properties. The negative effect on the image increases with the increase in the noise level. Filters based on average and median filters are not able to remove SAPN with high noise ratios, and accordingly, blurred images are obtained that cannot be dealt with in various image processing operations. In this paper research a modification will be add to median and average filters making them capable of reducing the noise even it has a high noise ratio, the modified average and median filters will be implanted and some comparisons with other popular filters will be made to show the enhancement of the modified filters.
