Experimental results show that the proposed two-pass filter is more effective for impulse noise reduction to improve image quality; especially the corruption ratio above 20%.
Abstract
In this paper, a two-pass filter is proposed for removing impulse noise to improve image quality. Due to the fact that the edge is more obvious and detected easily, such characteristics of different edges are used to judge whether the pixel is on an edge. Then, the pixels are not on the edges will be filtered by median filter, and further, the other pixels will be detected to preserve original information and reduce impulse noise. Experimental results show that the proposed method is more effective for impulse noise reduction to improve image quality; especially the corruption ratio above 20%.

Center weighted median filters and their applications to image enhancement

TL;DR: The center weighted median (CWM) filter as discussed by the authors is a weighted median filter that gives more weight only to the central value of each window, which can preserve image details while suppressing additive white and/or impulsive-type noise.

Space variant median filters for the restoration of impulse noise corrupted images

TL;DR: In this article, a generalized framework of median based switching schemes, called multi-state median (MSM) filter, is proposed by using a simple thresholding logic, the output of the MSM filter is adaptively switched among those of a group of center weighted median (CWM) filters with different center weights.
