Abstract

In this paper, we propose an average approximation filter which can effectively remove the noises of the images. The noises include impulse noises, gaussian noises and mixed noises. The algorithm is as follows. First, as a step of noise detection, we find whether the difference between the pixel value and the average value is greater than the threshold value or not after getting the average value that removed the minimum and maximum values in the applied mask. If the pixel value is greater than the threshold value, the pixel value is processed as noise. If it is less than or equal to the threshold value, it is processed as non-noise. Next, as the noise reduction step, we output the approximate value in mask as the pixel value and the average value except the minimum and maximum values of the pixel including the noise. As the result of applying this average approximation filter to the mixed noise images, the approximation filter can reduce the noises effectively more than 0.4[dB] as compared with applying the median filter and the average filter, respectively.

본 연구에서는 임펄스 잡음과 가우시안 잡음 및 혼재된 영상의 잡음을 효과적으로 제거하기 위한 평균 근사 값 필터를 제안한다. 먼저, 잡음을 검출하기 위한 단계로서 적용 마스크 내의 최소 최대값을 제거한 평균을 구한 후, 화소 값과 평균값의 차이가 임계 값 이상인지 알아본다. 화소 값이 임계 값 이상이면 잡음으로 처리하고, 임계 값 이하이면 비 잡음으로 처리한다. 다음으로, 잡음을 제거하기 위한 단계로서 잡음이 포함된 화소의 최소 최대값을 제외한 평균값과 마스크 내 가장 근사한 값을 화소 값으로 출력한다. 이러한 평균 근사 값 필터를 혼재된 잡음 영상에 적용한 결과, 중앙값 필터와 평균값 필터만을 각각 적용했을 때에 비해 0.4[dB] 이상 효과적으로 잡음을 제거할 수 있었다.
