Abstract
A new algorithm for removing random-valued impulse noise is proposed. We use a standardized version of the Rank Ordered Absolute Differences statistic of Garnett et al. [1] to attribute weights to noisy pixels. These weights are then incorporated into the Optimal Weights Filter approach from [2,3] to construct a new filter. Simulation results show that our method performs significantly better than a number of existing techniques.
