• abstract = "This paper presents a new filter to remove impulse noise in digital colour images. The filter is adaptive in the sense that it uses a detection stage to only correct noisy pixels. Detecting noisy pixels is performed by a binary classification model generated via genetic programming, a paradigm of evolutionary computing based on natural biological selection. The classification model training considers three impulse noise models in colour images: salt and pepper, uniform, and correlated. This is the first filter generated by genetic programming exploiting the correlation among the colour image channels. The correction stage consists of a vector median filter version that modifies colour channel values if some are noisy. An experimental study was performed to compare the proposed filter with others in the state-of-the-art related to colour image denoising. Their performance was measured objectively through the image quality metrics PSNR, MAE, SSIM, and FSIM. Experimental findings reveal substantial variability among filters based on noise model and image characteristics. The findings also indicate that, on average, the proposed filter consistently exhibited top-tier performance values for the three impulse noise models, surpassed only by a filter employing a deep learning-based approach. Unlike deep learning filters, which are black boxes with internal workings invisible to the user, the proposed filter has a high interpretability with a performance close to an equilibrium point for all images and noise models used in the experiment.",
