1 Median Filtering In signal processing, it is often desirable to be able to perform some kind of noise reduction on an image or signal. The median filter is a nonlinear digital filtering technique, often used to remove noise. Median filtering is very widely used in digital image processing because it preserves edges while removing noise.  Course Name: Digital Image Processing Level(UG/PG): UG  Author(s) : Phani Swathi Chitta  Mentor: Prof. Saravanan Vijayakumaran *The contents in this ppt are licensed under Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 2.5 India license

2 Learning Objectives After interacting with this Learning Object, the learner will be able to: Explain the reduction of noise using a median filter

3 Definitions of the components/Keywords: 5 3 2 4 1 The median filter is a sliding-window spatial filter. It replaces the value of the center pixel with the median of the intensity values in the neighborhood of that pixel. Median filtering is a nonlinear operation often used in image processing to reduce "salt and pepper" noise. A median filter is more effective than convolution when the goal is to simultaneously reduce noise and preserve edges. Median filters are particularly effective in the presence of impulse noise, also called ‘salt – and – pepper’ noise because of its appearance as white and black dots superimposed on an image. For every pixel, a 3x3 neighborhood with the pixel as center is considered. In median filtering, the value of the pixel is replaced by the median of the pixel values in the 3x3 neighborhood.
