In this article, we conduct a comparative analysis of two fundamental image filtering methods: mean filtering and median filtering. We examine their respective strengths and limitations in color image processing applications, discussing implementation considerations through key functions like cv2.blur() for mean filtering and cv2.medianBlur() for median filtering. The mean filter operates by replacing each pixel value with the average of its neighborhood, effectively reducing noise but potentially causing blurring effects. Conversely, the median filter selects the middle value from sorted neighborhood pixels, excelling at preserving edges while eliminating salt-and-pepper noise. Through detailed comparison of their kernel-based implementations and computational characteristics, we provide insights for selecting the appropriate filtering method based on specific image processing requirements to achieve optimal results.
