Improvement Of Quantized Adaptive Switching Median Filter For Impulse Noise Reduction In Grayscale Digital Image

In this dissertation, an improvement to Quantized Adaptive Switching Median filter (QSAM) has been done, to make it more efficient in reducing high density fixedvalued impulse noise from grayscale digital images. QSAM uses the switching approach, where it has noise detection and noise cancellatio...
