The impulse noise is very common and typical noise in the digital image. Many methods are invented in order to remove the impulse noise since the development of Digital Image Processing. For example, the median filter has been used for removing the impulse noise. In this paper, we try to remove the impulse noise using wavelet transformation in the wavelet-transformed detail areas. We also compare the algorithm with median filter with the visual and numerical methods. The result using the algorithm in this paper was much better than the median filter in both removing the noise and keeping the edges. The proposed algorithm needs more calculating time but has more advantages than the median filter has.
