Abstract
The Vector Median M-type L (VMML) -filter to remove impulsive noise from color images and video color sequences is presented. This filter utilizes multichannel image processing by using the vector approach and the Median M-Type L (MML) algorithm. Simulation results indicate that the proposed filter consistently outperforms other color image filters by balancing the tradeoff between noise suppression, detail preservation, and color retention.
