In modern society, due to the influence of the 4th industrial revolution, camera sensors and image-based automation systems are being used in various fields, and interest in image and signal processing is increasing. In this paper, we propose a digital filter algorithm for image reconstruction in an impulse noise environment. The proposed algorithm divides the image into eight masks in vertical, horizontal, and diagonal directions based on the local mask set in the image, and compares the standard deviation of each segmentation mask to obtain a reference value. The final output is calculated by applying the weight according to the spatial distance and the weight using the reference value to the local mask. To evaluate the performance of the proposed algorithm, it was simulated with the existing algorithm, and the performance was compared using enlarged images and PSNR.

Devices such as X-Ray, CT, MRI, scanners, etc. can generate S&P noise from several sources during the image acquisition process. Since S&P noise appearing in the image degrades the image quality, it is essential to use noise reduction technology in the image processing process. Various methods have already been proposed in research on S&P noise removal, but all of them have a problem of generating residual noise in an environment with high noise density. Therefore, this paper proposes a filtering algorithm based on a three-dimensional plane equation by setting the grayscale value of the image as a new axis. The proposed algorithm subdivides the local mask to design the three closest non-noisy pixels as effective pixels, and applies cosine similarity to a region with a plurality of pixels. In addition, even when the input pixel cannot form a plane, it is classified as an exception pixel to achieve excellent restoration without residual noise.

오차확산법은 중간조 처리에서 우수한 영상의 재현능력을 갖는 기법이다. 그러나 이의 기법은 경계재현 능력이 미약하며, 주기적인 패턴이 발생하여 영상의 화질을 저하시키는 단점이 있다. 본 논문에서는 경계재현의 능력을 개선하기 위한 경계강조법과 주기적인 패턴 발생을 감소시키기 위한 적응형 임계값 변조를 적용하는 방법을 제안하였다. 경계강조를 위한 임계값을 변조는 원영상의 공간적 기울기 정보를 활용하여 수행하였고, 동시에 기울기 정보를 이용하여 청색잡음 마스크를 적응적으로 적용하는 임계값 변조로 주기적인 패턴의 발생을 감소시키도록 하였다. 적응형 임계값 변조를 적용한 실험에서 영상의 주기적인 패턴이 감소된 보다 선명한 경계강조의 중간조 영상을 얻을 수 있었으며, 객관적인 특성분석을 위한 표시오차의 RAPSD, 거리에 따른 경계상관도 및 로컬 평균 일치도의 분석에서 제안한 기법이 효율적임을 확인하였다.

In modern society, various digital communication equipment is being used due to the influence of the 4th industrial revolution. Accordingly, interest in removing noise generated in a data transmission process is increasing, and research is being conducted to efficiently reconstruct an image. In this paper, we propose a filtering algorithm to remove the AWGN generated in the digital image transmission process. The proposed algorithm classifies pixels with high similarity by selecting regions with similar patterns around the input pixels according to block matching to remove the AWGN that appears strongly in the image. The selected pixel determines the estimated value by applying the weight obtained by the local steering kernel, and obtains the final output by adding or subtracting the input pixel value according to the standard deviation of the center mask. In order to evaluate the proposed algorithm, it was simulated with existing AWGN removal algorithms, and comparative analysis was performed using enlarged images and PSNR.

Recently, with the development of artificial intelligence and IoT technology, automation, and unmanned work are progressing in various fields, and the importance of image processing, which is the basis of AI object recognition, is increasing. In particular, in systems that require detailed data processing, noise removal is used as a preprocessing step, but the existing algorithm does not consider the noise level of the image, so it has the disadvantage of blurring in the filtering process. Therefore, in this paper, we propose a modified Gaussian filter that determines the weight by determining the noise level of the image. The proposed algorithm obtains the noise estimate for the AWGN of the image using quadtree segmentation, determines the Gaussian weight and the pixel weight, and obtains the final output by convolution with the local mask. To evaluate the proposed algorithm, it was simulated compared to the existing method, and superior performance was confirmed compared to the existing method.
