ABSTRACT: In this paper a novel soft switching filtering method intended for the reduction of impul-
sive noise in color images is presented. The noise detection algorithm is based on the concept of trimmed
aggregated distances, which serve as a measure of pixel distortion. The output of the proposed filter is a
weighted average of the central pixe ...
