행렬의 rank 최소화 기법은 영상 잡음 제거, 행렬 완성(completion), low rank 행렬 복원 등 다양한 영상처리 분야에서 효과적으로 이용되어 왔다. 특히 nuclear norm 을 이용한 low rank 최소화 기법은 convex optimization 을 통하여 대상 행렬의 특이값(singular value)을 thresholding 함으로써 간단하게 low rank 행렬을 얻을 수 있다. 하지만, nuclear norm 을 이용한 low rank 최소화 방법은 행렬의 rank 값을 정확하게 근사하지 못하기 때문에 잡음 제거가 효과적으로 이루어지지 못한다. 본 논문에서는 영상의 잡음을 제거 하기 위해 다중 잡음 제거 영상을 이용하여 유사도가 높은 유사 패치 행렬을 구성하고, 유사 패치 행렬의 rank 를 non-convex function 을 이용하여 최소화시키는 방법을 통해 잡음을 제거하는 방법을 제안한다.

Noise in image sequences is visually offensive and may mask important image detail. In addition to degradation of visual quality, the noise pattern increases the entropy of the image, and thus hinders effective compression. This paper proposes a spatial and a temporal joint filters to reduce the noise by jointly connecting two adaptive noise reducers with different characteristics, and we also propose an IIR-type 3D noise reduction litter scheme connecting the spatial and the temporal joint filters. The proposed 3D IIR filter not only strongly removes noise in uniform image regions while preserving edges and details but also effectively suppresses temporal flicker caused by noise. Experimental results show that the proposed scheme improves subjective quality as well as objective quality as compared with the various noise filtering techniques.

Digital processing technologies are being studied in various areas of image compression, recognition and recovery. However, image deterioration still occurs due to the noises in the process of image acquisition, storage and transmission. Generally in the typical noises which are included in the images, there are Gaussian noise and the mixed noise where the Gaussian noise and impulse noise are overlapped and in order to remove these noises, various researches are being executed. In order to preserve the edge and effectively remove mixed noises, image recovery filter algorithm was suggested in this study which sets and processes the adaptive weight using the median values and average values after noise judgment. Additionally, existing methods were compared through simulations and PSNR(peak signal to noise ratio) was used as a judgment standard.

Image signal related technology has been developing via various display equipment development and popularization of contents. However, errors occur in these image contents due to addition of excess noise from several cause during the process of general image signal data processing, transmission and storage. In terms of noise added to the image content, there are various types in accordance with cause of occurrence and form, and it is typically impulse noise, gaussian noise and complex noise which is composed of two types of overlapping noise. In this paper, complex algorithm is suggested in order to lessen the effect of mixed noise added to the image content by putting it through noise judgement process and categorizing each into impulse and gaussian noise and processing them separately. And in order to demonstrate the superiority of the suggested algorithm, PSIN(peak signal to noise ratio) was used as the standard of judgement.

In modern society, various video devices such as CCTV and black boxes are used for convenience. However, noise is frequently generated in the process of transmitting and receiving video images and video signals photographed at night. If such noise is not eliminated, the problem that the image is difficult to identify is generated. Accordingly, noise elimination of images in the image information is an indispensable step. Salt and Pepper noises are typical impulse noises among image noises. Previous research has been carried out as a method for eliminating noise, and CWMF, MMF and A-TMF are typical methods. In common, such a filter exhibits excellent performance in a low-density noise area, but a disadvantage is that noise elimination performance in a high-density noise area is somewhat insufficient. Accordingly, the proposed algorithm uses the inflection point of the histogram graph to separate areas and remove singular points, and proposes a weighting filter utilizing histogram distribution. PSNR was used for objective judgment.

With the development of IoT technology, image processing is being utilized in various fields such as image analysis, image recognition, medical industry, and factory automation. Noise is generated in image data from causes such as defect in transmission line. Image noise must be removed because it damages the performance of the image processing application program. Salt and Pepper noise is a representative type of image noise, and various studies have been conducted to remove Salt and Pepper noise. Widely known methods include A-TMF, AFMF, and SDWF. However, as the noise density increases, the performance deteriorates. Thus, this paper proposes an algorithm that performs filtering using a fuzzy logic weight mask only in case of noise after noise determination. In order to prove the noise removal performance of the proposed algorithm, an experiment was performed on images with 10% to 90% noise added and the PSNR was compared.

본 논문에서는 영상에서 발생하는 주기적 잡음을 제거하기 위해 다양한 필터들을 이용하여 성능 비교 실험을 수행한다. 영상의 주파수 도메인에서 지역적으로 잡음이 발생하면 영상의 공간 도메인에서 주기적인 잡음이 발생한다. 우선, 영상을 주파수 도메인에서 잡음을 야기시키는 영역을 분석하여 해당 영역에 지역적으로 노치 필터를 적용한다. 이를 통해 영상의 원신호를 유지하면서 영상에서 발생했던 주기적 잡음을 제거함으로써 영상의 화질이 개선됨을 실험을 통해 검증했다. 또한 객관적 지표 비교를 통해 3 가지의 지역적인 노치 필터들의 성능을 비교하고 최적의 필터를 제시한다.

It is difficult to analyse images because of multiplicative characteristics of speckle noises in SAR images. In this paper. wavelet transform is proposed for restoring SAR images corrupted by speckle noise. The multiplicative noise is transformed into a form of additive noise and then the additive noise is denoised using wavelet thresholding selections such as VisuShrink, SureShrink, BayesShrink and modified BayesShrink. Experimental results on several test images show that the modified BayesShrink yields significantly superior image quality and better Peak Signal to Noise Ratio(PSNR).

Noises are usually generated by various external causes and low quality devices in image data acquisition and recording as well as by channel interference in image transmission. Since these noise signals result in the loss of information, subsequent image processing is subject to the corruption of the original image. In general, image processing is performed in the mixed noise environment where common types of noise, known to be Gaussian and impulse, are present. This study proposes an iterative weighted mean filter for reducing mixed type of noise. Impulse noise pixels are first turned off in the input image, then $3{\times}3$ sliding window regions are processed by replacing center pixel with the result of weighted mean mask operation. This filtering processes are iterated until all the impulse noise pixels are replaced. Applied to images corrupted by Gaussian noise with ${\sigma}=10$ and different levels of impulse noise, the proposed filtering method improved the PSNR by up to 12.98 dB, 1.97 dB, 1.97 dB respectively, compared to SAWF, AWMF, MMF when impulse noise desities are less than 60%.
