  • This paper proposes a new approach for restoring images distorted by fixed-valued impulse noise. The detection process is based on finding the probability of existence of the image pixel. Extensive investigations indicate that the probability of existence of a pixel in an original image is bounded and has a maximum limit. The tested pixel is judged as original if it has probability of existence less than the threshold boundary. In many tested images, the proposed method indicates that the noisy pixels are detected efficiently. Moreover, this method is very fast, easy to implement and has an outstanding performance when compared with other well-known methods. Therefore, if the proposed filter is added as a preliminary stage to many filters, the final results will be improved.
