Color digital images are greatly affected by salt and pepper noise, which negatively affects the clarity of the image and its characteristics. In this paper research we will investigate various filter used to deal with salt and pepper noise, a comparison will be done between these filters according to the calculated values of MSE and PSNR. An improvement procedure will be added to each filter to show how this improvement will enhance the values of MSE and PSNR and thus enhance the quality of the denoised image. Various noise densities will be experimented and it will be shown how median filter can be highly recommended to reduce the negative effects of salt and pepper noise.
