Image acquisition is a common task in every image processing operation. Noise is entered (luring image acquisition from its source and once entered it degrades the image and is difficult to remove. In order to achieve the noise cancellation in an image, non-linear filter works better than linear. This paper presents the joint scheme of Wavelet Transform using iterative noise density and Median Filtering to remove Salt and Pepper Noise in Digital Images. The first part of the paper derives the wavelet coefficients with slight increase in noise density and in second part these coefficients are further modified by median filter. The algorithm shows the remarkable improvement over Gaussian noise model and removes most of the noisy part from the image and maintains the visual quality. The level of wavelet decomposition is restricted to three. The renowned indexes Peak Signal to Noise Ratio (PSNR) and Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) demonstrate marked improvement of image denoising over Gaussian method.
