Abstract

Recently, with the development of IoT technology and AI, unmanned and automated in various fields, interest in video processing, which is the basis for automation such as object recognition and object classification, is increasing. Various studies have been conducted on noise removal in the video processing process, which has a significant impact on image quality and system accuracy and reliability, but there is a problem that it is difficult to restore images for areas with high impulse noise density. In this paper proposes a filter algorithm based on partial mask and Lagrange interpolation to restore the damaged area of impulse noise in the image. In the proposed algorithm, the filtering process was switched by comparing the filtering mask with the noise estimate and the purge weight was calculated based on the low frequency component and the high frequency component of the image to restore the image.

최근 IoT 기술과 AI의 발전에 따라 다양한 분야에서 무인화와 자동화가 진행되고 있으며, 사물인식과 객체분류 등 자동화의 기반이 되는 영상처리에 대한 관심이 높아지고 있다. 영상처리 과정에서 잡음 제거는 영상의 품질 또는 시스템의 정확성과 신뢰성에 큰 영향을 미치는 과정으로 다양한 연구가 진행되고 있으나, 영상에서 임펄스 잡음의 밀도가 높은 영역에 대한 영상을 복원하기 어렵다는 문제점이 있다. 따라서 본 논문은 영상에서 임펄스 잡음 훼손된 영역을 복원하기 위해 부분 마스크와 라그랑지 보간법에 기반한 필터 알고리즘을 제안한다. 제안한 알고리즘은 필터링 마스크와 잡음 추정치를 서로 비교하여 필터링 과정을 스위칭하였으며, 영상의 저주파 및 고주파 성분에 따라 퍼지 가중치를 계산하여 영상을 복원하였다.
