Abstract-In this paper, an adaptive noise detection and remova l algorithm using local statistics for salt-and-pepper noise are proposed. In order to determine constraints for noise detection, the local mean, variance, an d maximum value are used. In addition, a weighted median filter is employed to r emove the detected noise. The simulation results show the capability of the prop osed algorithm removes the noise effectively.
