Salt-and-pepper noise is a form of noise sometimes seen on images. It presents itself as sparsely occurring white and black pixels. An effective noise reduction method for this type of noise is a median filter[1] or a morphological filter. For reducing either salt noise or pepper noise, but not both, a contraharmonic mean filter can be effective.[2]
