Remote sensing (RS) images are affected by different types of noises like Gaussian noise, speckle noise and impulse noise. These noises are introduced into the RS images during acquisition or transmission process. The main challenge in impulse noise removal is to suppress the noise as well as to preserve the details (edges). Removal of the impulse noise is done by two stages: detection of noisy pixel and replacement of that pixel. Detecting and Removing or reducing impulse noise is a very active research area in image processing. In this paper three different existing detection methods are discussed with the intension of developing a new one.
