Abstract

Currently, the demand for image processing is increasing due to the development of IT technology, and active research is being conducted. Since image data generates image noise due to various external causes, and thus degrades the performance of the image, noise removal is essential. Salt and Pepper noise is a representative image noise, and various studies are being conducted to remove it. Existing algorithms include A-TMF, AFMF, LIWF, but these have the disadvantage that their performance is somewhat insufficient. Therefore, in this paper, we propose an algorithm that performs filtering using linear interpolation with effective pixels existing around the central pixel only in case of noise after performing noise judgment in order to efficiently remove salt and pepper noise. In order to judge the performance of the proposed algorithm, it was compared using the processed image of the previously studied algorithm and PSNR.

현재 IT 기술 등의 발전으로 인하여 영상처리에 대한 요구가 증가하고 있으며, 활발한 연구가 진행되고 있다. 영상 데이터는 다양한 외부 원인으로 인하여 영상잡음이 발생해 영상의 성능을 저하시키기 때문에 잡음제거가 필수적이다. Salt and Pepper 잡음은 대표적인 영상잡음이며, 이를 제거하기 위하여 다양한 연구가 진행되고 있다. 기존의 알고리즘으로는 A-TMF, AFMF, LIWF 등이 있지만 성능이 다소 미흡하다는 단점이 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 효율적으로 Salt and Pepper 잡음을 제거하기 위하여 잡음판단을 진행한 후 잡음일 경우에만 중심화소의 주변에 존재하는 유효화소와 선형보간법을 이용하여 필터링을 진행하는 알고리즘을 제안하였다. 제안한 알고리즘의 성능을 판단하기 위하여 기존에 연구된 알고리즘의 처리영상과 PSNR을 사용하여 비교하였다.
