image denoising toolbox in matlab

function M = perform_median_filtering(M,k)

% perform_median_filtering - perform moving average median
%
%   M = perform_median_filtering(M,k);
%
%   k is the half width of the window (detult k=1).
%
%   This filtering method is very efficient to remove impulsive or salt and
%   peper noise.
