Images captured from image sensors are affected by noise. Impulse noise is the most common type ofnoise, also called salt-and-pepper noise. . It is caused by malfunctioning pixels in camera sensors, faulty memory locations in the hardware, or errors in data transmission. Image denoising plays a vital role in digital image processing. Many schemes are available for removing noise from images. A good denoising scheme retrieves a clearer image even if the image is highly affected by noise.
