Image denoising is a vital pre-processing phase, used to refine the image quality and make it more informative. Many image-denoising algorithms have been proposed with their own pros and cons. This project presents a comprehensive study of the median filter and its different variants to reduce or remove the impulse noise from gray scale images. These filters are compared with respect to their functionality, time complexity and relative performance. For performance evaluation of the existing algorithms, extensive MATLAB based simulations have been carried out on a set of images. For benchmarking the relative performance, we have used Peak Signal to Noise Ratio (PSNR), Root Mean Square Error (RMSE), Universal Image Quality Index (UQI), Structural Similarity Index (SSIM) and Edge-strength Similarity (ESSIM) as quality assessment metrics.
