TLDR
The proposed method outperforms all standard algorithms for the reduction of impulsive noise in color images because it filters out the noise component while adapting itself to the local image structures.
Abstract
A new approach to the problem of impulsive-noise reduction for color images is introduced. The major advantage of the technique is that it filters out the noise component while adapting itself to the local image structures. In this way the algorithm is able to eliminate strong impulsive noise while preserving edges and fine image details. As the algorithm is a fuzzy modification of the commonly used vector median operator, it is very fast and easy to implement. Our results show that the proposed method outperforms all standard algorithms for the reduction of impulsive noise in color images. © 2001 Society of Photo-Optical Instrumenta- tion Engineers.

Adaptive Color Image Filtering Based on Center-Weighted Vector Directional Filters

TL;DR: By varying the center weight, the proposed CWVDF framework can provide the smoothing characteristics ranging from an identity operation to that of the BVDF, which removes impulses and outliers from the image while simultaneously preserving the structural information.
