<Abstract>

We propose a new impulse noise rejector from images with using some shape windows. The our method uses directional windows. They use continuity of edge and shape are oblong windows used different angle. In our system, window that has low variation in pixel values is selected from multi windows. For Selected window includes flatness, it has no immediate change in pixel values, therefore enhances the performance at edge. Extensive simulations indicate that proposed method perform significantly better than traditional methods.
