Abstract
In recent years, the demand for image-processing technology in digital marketing has increased due to the expansion and diversification of the digital market, such as video, security, and machine intelligence. Noise-processing is essential for image-correction and reconstruction, especially in the case of sensitive noises, such as in CT, MRI, X-ray, and scanners. The two main salt and pepper noises have been actively studied, but the details and edges are still unsatisfactory and tend to blur when there is a lot of noise. Therefore, this paper proposes an algorithm that applies a weight-based Euclidean distance equation to the partial mask and uses only the non-noisy pixels that are the most similar to the original as effective pixels. The proposed algorithm determines the type of filter based on the state of the internal pixels of the designed partial mask and the degree of mask deterioration, which results in superior noise cancellation even in highly damaged environments.
