In this paper, we propose the adaptive Odd/Even Multi-shell Median Filter(adaptive O/E MMF) to improve the defect that Modified Multi-shell Median Filter(MMMF) can not recover missing lines of vertical and cross direction. This filter uses odd/even multi-shells and new proposed threshold strategy The performance of the proposed filter is evaluated over image 'airfield 'by using MATLAB. As the proposed threshold strategy eliminate the number of redundant replacement, it suppresses impulse noise and recovers missing lines.

In this paper, we propose a new multilevel nonlinear filter for simultaneous edge detection and noise suppression, which we call a order statistic-median hybrid(OMH) filler. The median-related filters cause an edge shift in the presence of an impulse near the edge. The proposed filter reduces such edge shifting while suppressing impulsive as well as nonimpulsive noise. We show that at the noisy edge point the OMH filter is substantially superior to the median filter, the $\alpha$-TM filter and the STM filter[I] in two respects: (a) the output bias error and (b) the output mean square error. Test results confirm that the OMH filter is robust in preserving sharp edges, inhibiting edge shifting, and suppressing a wide variety of noise. The structure for the OMH filter integrated circuit is also described.

In this paper, we studied on the hardware implementation of a 3${\times}$3 window weighted median filter using bit-level sorting algorithm. The weighted median filter is a generalization of the median filter that is able to preserve :,harp changes in signal and is very effective in removing impulse noise. It has been successfully applied in various areas such as digital signal and video/image processing. The weighted median filters are, for the most part, based on word-level sorting methods, which have more hardware and time complexity, However, the proposed bit-serial sorting algorithm uses weighted adder tree to overcome those disadvantages. It also offers a simple pipelined filter architecture that is highly regular with repeated modules and is very suitable for weighted median filtering. The algorithm was implemented by VHDL and graphical environment in MAX＋PlusII of ALTERA. The simulation results indicate that the proposed design method is more efficient than the traditional ones.

디지털 이미지나 비디오는 저장, 전송을 하는 과정에서 여러 가지 종류의 잡음이 발생하게 된다. 이러한 잡음 중 Salt & Pepper 잡음은 원본 데이터를 훼손하여 압축 효율을 저하시키고 영상 처리 방법으로 이용하는 Edge Detection이나 Segmentation에서의 성능저하를 일으키는 요인이 된다. 이 잡음을 완화하기 위한 방법으로 Median Filter, Weighted Median Filter, Center Weighted Median Filter, Switching Weighted Median Filter, Adaptive Median Filter 등이 있다. 하지만 이러한 방법들은 높은 잡음의 밀도에서 성능이 다소 미흡하다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 Salt & Pepper 잡음이 발생하는 무선 통신 환경에서 잡음 완화를 위한 새로운 형태의 필터를 제안한다. 제안한 필터는 Salt & Pepper 잡음 감지를 통해 훼손된 픽셀의 위치를 확인하고 일정 영역의 훼손되지 않은 인접 픽셀 값들을 이용하여 잡음을 완화한다. 제안하는 필터 중 $3{\times}3$ 크기의 에러 마스크를 이용하는 필터의 성능을 기존의 방법들과 비교하여 PSNR을 통해 평가하였을 때, 이미지에서 잡음의 밀도가 95%일 때, MF와 비교하여 13.24 dB, AMF와 비교하여 13.09 dB의 성능을 향상시키는 것을 확인하였다.

The weighted median hybrid filters are proposed. These filters take weighting factors in calculating the output of subfilters of median hybrid filters. The properties of weighted median hybrid filters are analysed and compared to the conventional median filter. The results indicate that these filters preserve details of edge better than and are computationally much more efficient than conventional median filter.

Salt and pepper 잡음은 카메라 오작동, 저장 매체의 메모리 오류, 전송 채널 에러 등 다양한 원인으로 발생한다. 기존의 salt and pepper 잡음을 제거하기 위한 대표적인 필터에는 SMF(standard median filter), CWMF(center weighted median filter), AMF(adaptive median filter) 등이 대표적이다. 그러나 기존의 필터들은 고밀도 salt and pepper 잡음 환경에서 잡음 제거 특성이 다소 미흡하다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 잡음 판단을 통해 중심화소가 비잡음인 경우, 원 화소 그대로 보존하고 잡음인 경우, 공간 가중치 마스크 및 메디안을 이용한 복합 필터를 제안하였다.

In this research we propose the design of the Order Statistic-Adaptive Weighted Average Hybrid(OS-AWAH) filter which can suppress noise from the corrupted image sequence effectively while preserving the image structure. The proposed filter combines the desirable properties of the order static based spatial filter which can preserve the image structure while reducing noise and the adaptive weighted average based temporal filter which can adapt the filtering weights according to the amount of motion without motion estimation. Performance characteristics of the OS-AWAH filter in noisy sequences containing moving step edges are investigated throuth computer simulations and compared with the median based filters such as 3-D WM(weighted median) filter, MMF (multistage median filter), ADCWM(adaptive directional center weighted median) filter. The visual evaluations are also carried out by applyin gthe filters to the real images. The statistical analysis and experimental reslts show that the OS-AWAH filter is effective in preserving image structures while suppressing noise effectively without motion compensation preprocessing.

영상의 처리 및 전송과정에서 여러가지 잡음이 첨가되어 영상에 오류를 발생시킨다. 이러한 영상을 복원하기 위해, 알파 트림드 평균 필터, 표준 메디안 필터, 스위칭 메디안 필터 등의 방법들이 제안되었으나 이러한 기존의 방법들은 잡음제거 특성이 미흡하다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 영상에 첨가되는 임펄스 잡음을 제거하기 위해 마스크 내의 화소의 잡음 밀도에 따라 마스크를 확대 시키는 변형된 적응 메디안 필터 알고리즘을 제안하였다.

The pseudomedian filter was designed to be a computationally effecient alternative to the median filter. However, a thorough analysis ofter pseudomedian filter reveals some important differences between its response and that of the median filter. This paper develops some formal properties of the pseudomedian filter. The root signal analysis demonstrates the close relatonship between the median and pseudomedian filters while pointing out important and useful differences.

In this paper, we propose the bilateral filter based on median value that can reduce random noise and impulse noise with minimal loss of contour information. In general, EO / IR camera to generate a random or impulse noise due to a number of reasons. This noise reduces the performance of detecting and tracking by signal processing. To reduce noise, our proposed bilateral filter sorts the values of the target pixel and the peripheral pixels, and extracts a median filter coefficients of the Gaussian type. Then to extract the Gaussian filter coefficient involved with the distance between the center pixel and the surrounding pixels. As using those filter coefficients, our proposed method can remove the various noise effectively while minimizing the loss of the contour information. To validate our proposed method, we present experimental results for several IR images.
