In this paper, a new filter, RM, which is based on exact radial basis function artificial neural networks, is proposed for the impulsive noise suppression from highly distorted images. The RM uses Chi-Squared based goodness-of-fit test in order to find corrupted pixels more accurately. The proposed filter shows a high performance at the restoration of images distorted by impulsive noise. The extensive simulation results show that the proposed filter achieves a superior performance to the other filters mentioned in this paper in the cases of being effective in noise suppression and detail preservation, especially when the noise density is very high.
