Images are unavoidably contaminated with different types of noise during the processes of image acquisition and transmission. The main forms of noise are impulse noise (is also called salt and pepper noise) and Gaussian noise. In this paper, an effective method of removing mixed noise from images is proposed. In general, different types of denoising methods are designed for different types of noise; for example, the median filter displays good performance in removing impulse noise, and the wavelet denoising algorithm displays good performance in removing Gaussian noise. However, images are affected by more than one type of noise in many cases. To reduce both impulse noise and Gaussian noise, this paper proposes a denoising method that combines adaptive median filtering (AMF) based on impulse noise detection with the wavelet threshold denoising method based on a Gaussian mixture model (GMM). The simulation results show that the proposed method achieves much better denoising performance than the median filter or the wavelet denoising method for images contaminated with mixed noise.

Image denoising is a key issue in all image processing researches. Generally, the quality of an image could be corrupted by a lot of noise due to the undesired conditions of image acquisition phase or during the transmission. Many approaches to image restoration are aimed at removing either Gaussian or impulse noise. Nevertheless, it is possible to find them operating on the same image, which is called mixed noise and it produces a hard damage. In this paper, we proposed noise type classification method and a mixed nonlinear filter for mixed noise suppression. The proposed filtering scheme applies a modified adaptive switching median filter to impulse noise suppression and an efficient nonlinear filer was carried out to remove Gaussian noise. The simulation results based on Matlab show that the proposed method can remove mixed Gaussian and impulse noise efficiently and it can preserve the integrity of edge and keep the detailed information.

Various digital devices were supplied throughout the Fourth Industrial Revolution. Accordingly, the importance of data processing has increased. Data processing significantly affects equipment reliability. Thus, the importance of data processing has increased, and various studies have been conducted on this topic. This study proposes a modified Gaussian filter algorithm based on a fuzzy membership function. The proposed algorithm calculates the Gaussian filter weight considering the standard deviation of the filtering mask and computes an estimate according to the fuzzy membership function. The final output is calculated by adding or subtracting the Gaussian filter output and estimate. To evaluate the proposed algorithm, simulations were conducted using existing additive white Gaussian noise removal algorithms. The proposed algorithm was then analyzed by comparing the peak signal-to-noise ratio and differential image. The simulation results show that the proposed algorithm has superior noise reduction performance and improved performance compared to the existing method.

The image signal is often affected by the existence of noise, noise can occur during image capture, transmission or processing phases. noises caused the degradation phenomenon and demage the original signal information. Many studies are being accomplished to restore those signals which corrupted by mixed noise. In this paper, we proposed mixed weighted filter for removing Gaussian and impulse noise. we first charge the noise type, then, Gaussian is removed by a weighted mean filter and impulse noise is removed by self-adaptive weighted median filter that can not only remove mixed noise but also preserve the details. And through the simulation, we compared with the conventional algorithms and indicated that proposed method significant improvement over many other existing algorithms and can preserve image details efficiently.

A Gaussian noise is caused by surrounding environment or channel interference when transmitting image. The noise reduces not only image quality degradation but also high-level image processing performance. The Non-Local Means (NLM) filter finds similarity in the neighboring sets of pixels to remove noise and assigns weights according to similarity. The weighted average is calculated based on the weight. The NLM filter method shows low noise cancellation performance and high complexity in the process of finding the similarity using weight allocation and neighbor set. In order to solve these problems, we propose an algorithm that shows an excellent noise reduction performance by using Summed Square Image (SSI) to reduce the complexity and applying the weighting function based on a cosine Gaussian kernel function. Experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.

Image denoising is basic work for image processing, analysis and computer vision. This paper proposes a novel algorithm based on wavelet threshold for image denoising, which is combined with the linear CLS (Constrained Least Squares) filtering and thresholding methods in the transform domain. We demonstrated through simulations with images contaminated by white Gaussian noise that our scheme exhibits better performance in both PSNR (Peak Signal-to-Noise Ratio) and visual effect.

잡음 제거는 영상 처리의 선행 과정에서 필수적으로 이루어지며, 잡음의 종류와 영상의 환경에 따라 다양한 기법들이 연구되고 있다. 그러나 기존 AWGN(additive white gaussian noise) 제거 기법들은 고주파 성분이 많은 영상에 대해 블러링 현상을 일으키며 다소 부족한 성능을 보인다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 영상의 AWGN 제거 과정에서 블러링 현상을 최소화하기 위한 알고리즘을 제안하였다. 제안한 알고리즘은 마스크 내부 화소 특성에 따라 고주파 성분필터와 저주파 성분 필터를 설정하며, 기준치에 입력 영상을 가감하여 각 필터의 출력을 계산한다. 최종 출력은 두 필터의 출력에 표준편차와 가우시안 분포를 통해 계산된 가중치를 적용한 것을 합산하여 구한다. 제안한 알고리즘은 기존 방법에 비해 AWGN 제거 성능이 우수하였으며, 시뮬레이션을 통해 이를 확인하였다.

In this paper, the SEM image processing system based on PC is designed, and a new noise reduction filtering algorithm is proposed. The SEM image obtained in semiconductor processing line is sensitive to noise, the weighted-D filter can remove uniform and Gaussian noise effectively, but can not remove impulse noise properly, A new improved filtering algorithm is proposed to reduce mixed-noise. The performance of the proposed filter is quantitatively evaluated by use of the normalized mean square errors (NMSE). The experimental results show that the performance of the proposed filter is obtained between 0.96 and 2.5 times better than that of weighted-D filter in NMSE evaluation.

다양한 디스플레이 장치의 개발과 콘텐츠의 대중화로 영상신호 관련 기술들이 발전하여 왔다. 그러나 일반적으로 영상신호의 데이터 처리, 전송 및 저장하는 과정에서 여러 원인에 의해 잡음이 첨가되어 영상에 오류를 발생한다. 영상에 첨가되는 잡음은 발생원인과 형태에 따라 다양한 종류가 있으며, 주로 임펄스 잡음, 가우시안 잡음 및 두 가지 잡음이 중첩된 복합잡음 등이 있다. 본 논문에서는 영상에 첨가되는 복합잡음의 영향을 완화하기 위하여 잡음 판단을 거친 후, 임펄스 및 가우시안 잡음을 분류하여 각각 처리하는 복합적인 알고리즘을 제안하였다. 그리고 제안한 알고리즘의 우수성을 입증하기 위해 PSNR(peak signal to noise ratio)을 판단의 기준으로 사용하였다.

이전의 정보화는 글이나 혹은 음성에 의존했다면, 현대사회의 정보전송은 다양한 영상 매체를 이용하여 전송하고 있다. 휴대폰과 TV, 컴퓨터는 대표적인 영상신호를 이용하는 매개체로서 현대사회를 이루는 큰 축이라고 할 수 있다. 이러한 이유로 중요성이 부각되어지는 영상 신호의 개발은 크게 압축 및 인식 그리고 복원 등 많은 부분에서 연구가 되어지고 있다. 노이즈는 이러한 신호를 이용함에 따라 필연적으로 발생되며, 발생되는 노이즈로서는 임펄스 노이즈(Impulse Noise)와 AWGN(Additive White Gaussian Noise)가 대표적이다. 이러한 노이즈를 줄이기 위하여 다양한 필터가 개발되고 있으며, 각기 그 잡음의 성향에 따라 다른 필터가 사용되어진다. 그러나 잡음은 신호에서 독립적으로 발생되어지는 것이 아니라 중첩되어 발생되어진다. 본 논문은 이러한 중첩된 잡음을 제거하고자 영상필터를 제안하였으며, 이를 기존의 다른 필터와 비교하였다.
