Abstract

Image enhancement is an important challenge in medical field. There are various techniques for image enhancement during last two decades. The objective of this paper is to remove impulse noise for MRI brain image. This paper proposed an efficient filter for removing impulse noise. The shape of the filter is changed to diamond. Experiments are conducted for various noise levels. The proposed method is compared with the existing Denoising techniques. The experimental results proved that the proposed filter performed well than the other methods.
