Abstract

Image signal related technology has been developing via various display equipment development and popularization of contents. However, errors occur in these image contents due to addition of excess noise from several cause during the process of general image signal data processing, transmission and storage. In terms of noise added to the image content, there are various types in accordance with cause of occurrence and form, and it is typically impulse noise, gaussian noise and complex noise which is composed of two types of overlapping noise. In this paper, complex algorithm is suggested in order to lessen the effect of mixed noise added to the image content by putting it through noise judgement process and categorizing each into impulse and gaussian noise and processing them separately. And in order to demonstrate the superiority of the suggested algorithm, PSIN(peak signal to noise ratio) was used as the standard of judgement.

다양한 디스플레이 장치의 개발과 콘텐츠의 대중화로 영상신호 관련 기술들이 발전하여 왔다. 그러나 일반적으로 영상신호의 데이터 처리, 전송 및 저장하는 과정에서 여러 원인에 의해 잡음이 첨가되어 영상에 오류를 발생한다. 영상에 첨가되는 잡음은 발생원인과 형태에 따라 다양한 종류가 있으며, 주로 임펄스 잡음, 가우시안 잡음 및 두 가지 잡음이 중첩된 복합잡음 등이 있다. 본 논문에서는 영상에 첨가되는 복합잡음의 영향을 완화하기 위하여 잡음 판단을 거친 후, 임펄스 및 가우시안 잡음을 분류하여 각각 처리하는 복합적인 알고리즘을 제안하였다. 그리고 제안한 알고리즘의 우수성을 입증하기 위해 PSNR(peak signal to noise ratio)을 판단의 기준으로 사용하였다.
