Abstract: Image enhancement techniques are the best solution for improving the visual appearance of images to a human viewer. It also preserves the structural features of the image. Enhancement of the noisy image data without losing any significant information is very challenging. In this paper, we have introduced the modified mean median based method for removing impulse noise effectively while preserving details of the image. The proposed filter would be better than many of the existing filters such as the median filter and its variant and other fuzzy filters. The advantages of these methods are that it reduces Impulse noise in a grayscale image as well as the colour image (low-level impulse noise), it preserves edge sharpness, it does not introduce blurring artefacts or new colours artefacts in comparison to other states of the art methods.
