In this paper, we propose an adaptive noise detection and modified Gaussian removal algorithm using local statistics for impulse noise. In order to determine constraints for noise detection, the local mean, variance, and maximum values are used. In addition, a modified Gaussian filter that integrates the tuning parameter to remove the detected noises. Experimental results show that our method is significantly better than a number of existing techniques in terms of image restoration and noise detection.

In this paepr, a Wiener filtering method in wavelet domain is proposed for restoring an image corrupted by additive white noise. The proposed method utilizes the characteristics of wavelet transform signals and the local statistics of each subband. When estimating the local statistics in each subband, the size of filter window is varied according to each scale. At this point, the local statistics in each wavelet subband is estimated only by using pixedls which have similar statistical property. Experimental results show that the proposed method has better performance over the conventional Lee filter with a window of fixed size.

본 논문에서는 MAP(maximum a posteriori) 추정방식과 국부통계특성을 이용한 적응적 영상 향상 방법을 제안한다. 원 영상의 에지를 보존 할 수 있는 MAP추정 방식과 인간의 시각 특성을 나타내는 시각 함수를 이용한 가중치 행렬을 사용하였다. MAP 추정 방식은 컨벡스 함수를 최적화하여 원 영상의 에지를 보존하는 방법을 이용하였으며, 시각 함수는 국부 정보의 평균, 분산을 이용하여 정의하였다. 제안 방식으로부터 국부영역의 비용함수에 의해 발생되는 스무딩 정도를 다르게 하여 보간된 영상의 화질을 개선시킨다. 제안된 방식의 성능을 실험 결과로부터 확인한 수 있었다.

In this paper, we propose an adaptive MAP (Maximum A Posteriori) high-resolution image reconstruction algorithm using local statistics. In order to preserve the edge information of an original high-resolution image, a visibility function defined by local statistics of the low-resolution image is incorporated into MAP estimation process, so that the local smoothness is adaptively controlled. The weighted non-quadratic convex functional is defined to obtain the optimal solution that is as close as possible to the original high-resolution image. An iterative algorithm is utilized for obtaining the solution, and the smoothing parameter is updated at each iteration step from the partially reconstructed high-resolution image is required. Experimental results demonstrate the capability of the proposed algorithm.

In this paper, we propose a spatially adaptive noise detection and removal algorithm for a single degraded image. Under the assumption that an observed image is Gaussian-distributed, the noise information is estimated by local statistics of degraded image, and the degree of the additive noise is detected by the local statistics of the estimated noise. In addition, we describe a noise removal method taking a modified Gaussian filter which is adaptively determined by filter parameters and window size. The experimental results demonstrate the capability of the proposed algorithm.

In this paper, we investigate an enhancement method for Western epigraphic images, which is based on local statistics. Image data is partitioned into two regions, background and information. Statistical and functional analyses are proceeded for image modeling. The Western epigraphic images, for the most part, have shown the Gaussian distribution. It is clarified that each region can be differentiated statistically. The local normalization process algorithm is designed on this model. The parameter is extracted and it‘s properties are verified with the size of moving window. The spatial gray-level distribution is modified and regions are differentiated by adjusting parameter and the size of moving window. Local statistics are utilized for realization of the enhancement, so that difference between regions can be enhanced and noise or speckles of region can be smoothed. Experimental results are presented to show the superiority of the proposed algorithm over the conventional methods.

In the sigma filter, there is a specialized neighbours distribution scheme in which the sigma value is computed from local statistics. It is designed to modify a standard average filter to preserve edges. However this filter is vulnerable to details-enhancement and conventional sigma approaches have been focused on denoising, not enhancing the characteristic area. This paper proposes an adaptive image enhancement algorithm using local statistics and functional synthesis which are utilized for adaptive realization of the enhancement, so that not only image noise may be smoothed but also details may be enhanced. For the local adaptation, parameters are estimated and weighted at each moving window that satisfy the criteria. The experimental results illuminates the effectiveness of the proposed method.

In this paper, we presents a spatially adaptive noise detection and removal algorithm. Under the assumption that an observed image and the additive noise have Gaussian distribution, the noise parameters are estimated with local statistics, and the parameters are used to define the constraints on the noise detection process, where the first order Markov Random Field (MRF) is used. In addition, an adaptive low-pass filter having a variable window sizes defined by the constraints on noise detection is used to control the degree of smoothness of the reconstructed image. Experimental results demonstrate the capability of the proposed algorithm.
