Abstract: In this paper, an adaptive method for removing salt and pepper noise from images is proposed. A second order difference operator is used to locate the corrupted pixels in images by comparing with a threshold, which is selected adaptively using the image properties. A functional link artificial neural network (FLANN) based method is proposed to set a threshold for each corrupted image for identification of noisy pixels using recursive zero attracting least mean square (RZALMS) as the updating algorithm. Median filter is used to eliminate noise from the detected pixel locations.
