Since the birth of Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR), it has been widely used in the military field and so on. However, the existence of speckle noise makes a good deal inconvenience for the subsequent image processing. The continuous development of sparse representation (SR) opens a new field for the speckle suppressing of SAR image. Although the SR de-noising may be effective, the over-smooth phenomenon still has bad influence on the integrity of the image information. In this paper, one novel SAR image de-noising method based on residual image fusion and sparse representation is proposed. Firstly we can get the similar block groups by the non-local similar block matching method (NLS-BM). Then SR de-noising based on the adaptive K-means singular value decomposition (K-SVD) is adopted to obtain the initial de-noised image and residual image. The residual image is processed by Shearlet transform (ST), and the corresponding de-noising methods are applied on it. Finally, in ST domain the low-frequency and high-frequency components of the initial de-noised and residual image are fused respectively by relevant fusion rules. The final de-noised image can be recovered by inverse ST. Experimental results show the proposed method can not only suppress the speckle effectively, but also save more details and other useful information of the original SAR image, which could provide more authentic and credible records for the follow-up image processing.

The essential idea of de-noising is referring to neighboring pixels of a center pixel to be updated. Conventional adaptive de-noising filters use local statistics, i.e., mean and variance, of neighboring pixels including the center pixel. The drawback of adaptive de-noising filters is that their performance becomes low when edges are contained in neighboring pixels, while anisotropic diffusion de-noising filters remove adaptively noises and preserve edges considering intensity difference between neighboring pixel and the center pixel. The anisotropic diffusion de-noising filters, however, use only intensity difference between neighboring pixels and the center pixel, i.e., local statistics of neighboring pixels and the center pixel are not considered. We propose a new connectivity function of two adjacent pixels using statistics of neighboring pixels and apply connectivity function to diffusion coefficient. Experimental results using an aerial image corrupted by uniform and Gaussian noises showed that the proposed algorithm removed more efficiently noises than conventional diffusion filter and median filter.

본 논문에서는 반복적 영상복원과정에서 자주 등장하는 경계관련 오류와 물체관련 오류를 효과적으로 제거하기 위한 새로운 반복적 영상복원방법을 제안하고자 한다. 제안한 방법은 반복과정내부에 웨이블렛 축소법을 이용한 변형된 CGM(Conjugate Gradient Method)을 이용하였다. 제안한 방법은 CGM과 같은 빠른 복원과 함께 웨이블렛 축소법에 의한 적응적인 잡음제거와 오류제거를 동시에 제공한다. 효과적인 잡음제거와 오류제거를 동시에 얻기 위해 웨이블렛 축소는 위치에 따라 변하는 웨이블렛 축소규칙을 사용하였다. 기존의 반복적 영상복원 알고리즘인 LR(Lucy-Richardson), CGM과의 비교실험을 통해 제한한 방법이 LR에 비교해서는 전체적으로 향상된 복원과 물체관련오류가 거의 없다는 측면, 그리고 CGM과의 비교에서는 물체 및 경계 관련오류가 거의 없다는 측면에서 기존의 방법에 비해 우수하다는 것을 확인하였다.

본 논문의 주요 목적은 컬러 이미지에서의 노이즈 제거를 위한 다양한 필터들의 성능 분석 비교이다. 기존의 노이즈 제거 필터들에 대한 분석에서 한 발 더 나아가 RGB에서 HSV나 $YC_BC_R$로 컬러 모델변환을 하여 노이즈를 제거하는 방법을 제안하였다. 논문에서 사용된 예인 Median, Wiener, Mean 등의 노이즈 제거필터들의 성능 개선에 도움을 주기위해 고안했으며 현재까지는 컬러 이미지를 위한 필터들의 성능분석이나 컬러모델 변환을 이용한 개선 방법들이 제안된 바가 없다. 이에 영감을 받아서, 고안된 새로운 방법을 테스트 하였다. 실행해 본 결과, 현재 사용되고 있는 필터들 중에서 몇몇 필터들의 성능을 향상시켜서 컬러 이미지에서의 노이즈 제거에 큰 도움을 주는 것으로 나타났다.

With the advent of the information society, image restoration technology has aroused considerable interest. Guided image filtering is more effective in suppressing noise in homogeneous regions, but its edge-preserving property is poor. As such, the critical part of guided filtering lies in the selection of the guided image. The result of the Expected Patch Log Likelihood (EPLL) method maintains a good structure, but it is easy to produce the ladder effect in homogeneous areas. According to the complementarity of EPLL with guided filtering, we propose a method of coupling EPLL and guided filtering for image de-noising. The EPLL model is adopted to construct the guided image for the guided filtering, which can provide better structural information for the guided filtering. Meanwhile, with the secondary smoothing of guided image filtering in image homogenization areas, we can improve the noise suppression effect in those areas while reducing the ladder effect brought about by the EPLL. The experimental results show that it not only retains the excellent performance of EPLL, but also produces better visual effects and a higher peak signal-to-noise ratio by adopting the proposed method.

영상은 일반적으로 임펄스 또는 AWGN에 의해 훼손되는 경우가 많으며, 두 가지 잡음이 동시에 첨가될 경우도 있다. 영상에 첨가되는 잡음을 제거함에 있어서 기존의 메디안 필터는 임펄스 잡음제거에 효과적이고 평균필터는 AWGN 제거에 효과적이다. 그러나 기존의 방법은 복합잡음이 첨가될 경우 잡음제거특성이 미흡하며, 이에 따라 본 논문에서는 복합 잡음제거를 위한 비선형 필터 알고리즘을 제안하였다. 시뮬레이션 결과, 제안한 방법은 기존의 방법들에 비해 우수한 잡음제거 특성을 나타내었다.

Terahertz waves are superior to conventional X-ray or Magnetic Resonance Tomography(MRI), and the amount of information that can be transmitted is as large as thousands of times that conventional X-ray or MRI. In addition, Terahertz waves have great performance in analyzing an object which have some layered structure. By using this advantage, we can extract the letters of a page by analyzing information such as absorption amount and reflection amount by irradiating a closed book with pulses of various frequencies within gap of a terahertz wave. However, in the image of each page using the Terahertz wave might be obtained various kinds of noise and the different character occlusion region. So, to extract letters from the terahertz image, we must take the noise and occlusion region away. We have been working to enhancement the image quality in various ways, and keep on studying de-noising processing for enhancement about the image quality and high resolution. Finally, we also keep on studying about OCR(Optical Character Recognition) technology, which based on pattern matching technique, to read letters.

Blocking artefact noise is necessarily happened in compressed images using block-coded algorithms such as JPEC compressing algorithm. This noise is more recognizable especially in highly compressed images. In this paper, an algorithm is presented for reduction of blocking artefact noise using block division. Furthermore, we also mention about the median filter which is often used in image processing.

In this paper, we propose a new de-noising algorithm for 2 dimensional image using discrete wavelet transform. The proposed algorithm consists of edge detection in spatial domain, zero-tree estimation, subband estimation, and shrinkage algorithm. The results from it shows that the denoised image which Is damaged by 20% gaussian noise has 28dB quality for the original one.
