Abstract: This paper presents noise filtering technique of noisy image using cellular automata (CA). Two new approaches to reduce noise form a noisy image have been proposed. In the first approach, difference values of Moore neighbors form center pixel are calculated, then sorted in ascending order and the center pixel value is updated depending on the present pixel values using CA rule. In second approach, all pixels value of Moore neighbor including center pixel are sorted in ascending order. Then the minimum and maximum values are eliminated form sorted pixel values and the center pixel value is updated using CA rule. Results are compared with other existing filtering technique in terms of Peak Signal to Noise Ratio ( PSNR). This comparisons shows that a filter based on CA provides significant improvements over the standard filtering methods.
