Abstract: Impulse noise in images culminates to the loss of valuable information. This paper proposes an efficient fuzzy filter for suppression of impulse noise in images (EFFSIN). Firstly, impulse noise is effectively detected by the proposed algorithm with the utilization of Fuzzy C-Means (FCM) in two stages. Only legitimate pixels are restored after fair distiction of noisy pixel from edge pixel. Proper restoration of noisy pixel following effective detection by proposed work leads to low miss detection(MD) and false alarm (FA) rates. Simulation results depict the efficacy of the proposed filter with reference to peak-signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR) and structural similarity index measure (SSIM).
