Optimum Median Filter Based on Crow Optimization Algorithm by Basma Jumaa Saleh, Ahmed Yousif Falih Saedi, Ali Talib Qasim al-Aqbi, Lamees abdalhasan Salman

“…It achieves the simulation based on MATLAB R2019b and the results present that the improved median filter with crow optimization algorithm is more effective than the original median filter algorithm and some recently methods; they show that the suggested process is robust to reduce the error problem and remove noise because of a candidate of the median filter; the results will show by the minimized mean square error to equal or less than (1.38), absolute error to equal or less than (0.22) ,Structural Similarity (SSIM) to equal (0.9856) and getting PSNR more than (46 dB). …”
