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.

Noise generated during image acquisition and transmission can negatively impact the results of image processing applications, and noise removal is typically a part of image preprocessing. Denoising techniques combined with nonlocal techniques have received significant attention in recent years, owing to the development of sophisticated hardware and image processing algorithms, much attention has been paid to; however, this approach is relatively poor for edge preservation of fine image details. To address this limitation, the current study combined a steering kernel technique with adaptive masks that can adjust the size according to the noise intensity of an image. The algorithm sets the steering weight based on a similarity comparison, allowing it to respond to edge components more effectively. The proposed algorithm was compared with existing denoising algorithms using quantitative evaluation and enlarged images. The proposed algorithm exhibited good general denoising performance and better performance in edge area processing than existing non-local techniques.

최근 다양한 분야에서 영상매체의 사용 빈도가 증가함에 따라 신호처리의 중요성이 높아지고 있다. 하지만 송수신 과정에서 많은 종류의 잡음이 발생하며 신호의 정보에 영향을 미치고 있으며, 이러한 이유로 잡음 제거를 전처리 과정으로서 필수적으로 행한다. 본 논문에서는 임펄스 잡음과 AWGN이 혼합된 잡음을 제거하기 위한 알고리즘을 제안하였다. 제안한 알고리즘은 복합 잡음 환경에서 효율적인 잡음 제거를 위해 잡음 판단을 통해 영상 복원을 진행하며, 공간적 특성과 화소 변화를 고려하여 잡음을 제거한다. 시뮬레이션 결과 제안한 알고리즘은 기존 방법과 달리 두 잡음의 영향을 모두 최소화하여 잡음을 제거하여 우수한 잡음제거 특성을 나타내었으며, 객관적인 판단을 위해 PSNR 및 프로파일 등을 이용하여 비교 및 분석하였다.

잡음 추정과 검출 알고리즘에서는 LMS Filter를 이용하여 변화하는 잡음 환경에 빠르게 적응할 수 있도록 한다. 하지만 LMS Filter는 잡음 추정을 위한 일정 시간 동안 적응 시간이 필요하며 신호의 변화가 일어날 경우 더 많은 적응 시간이 소요되는 단점을 가지고 있다. 따라서 이를 보완하기 위하여 프레임 단위의 AELMS Filter를 이용한 잡음 제거 방법을 제안한다. 본 논문은 잡음 환경에서 입력되는 신호를 프레임 단위로 분할하고 평균과 분산을 이용한 예측 LMS Filter를 구성하여 잡음을 제거하므로 잡음 환경이 변화하더라도 빠른 적응 시간으로 잡음을 제거한다. 또한 환경 잡음과 음성 신호가 혼합되어 입력될 때 잡음을 제거하여 음성의 고유 특성을 유지하고 음성 정보 손상을 줄이기 위한 방법이다. 프레임 단위의 AELMS Filter를 이용한 잡음 제거 방법으로 잡음 제거 성능을 평가하였다. 실험 결과 변화하는 환경 잡음을 제거하여 얻은 감쇠도가 평균 6.8dB 향상되었다.

영상처리는 사회가 고도의 디지털 정보화 시대로 발전함에 따라 응용분야가 점차 다양해지고, 중요한 분야로 각광 받고 있다. 그러나 영상 데이터는 전송하는 과정에서 여러 원인으로 열화가 발생하며 주로 salt and pepper 잡음이 대표적이다. salt and pepper 잡음을 제거하기 위한 대표적인 방법에는 CWMF, SWMF, A-TMF가 있으며 기존의 방법들은 salt and pepper 잡음 환경에서 잡음 제거 특성이 다소 미흡하다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 salt and pepper 잡음을 제거하기 위해 잡음 판단 후, 중심화소가 비잡음인 경우 원 화소 그대로 보존하고, 잡음인 경우, 국부 마스크의 잡음밀도에 따라 2차원 스플라인 보간법 및 메디안 필터를 적용하여 처리하는 알고리즘을 제안하였다. 그리고 객관적 판단을 위해 기존의 방법들과 비교하였으며, 판단의 기준으로 PSNR(peak signal to noise ratio)을 사용하였다.

The noise removal as a preprocessing was tried with various kinds of wavelet pairs. Wavelet transform for 2D images generally uses the same wavelets as basis functions in horizontal and vertical directions. A method with different wavelets was tried for each direction separately, which gives more precise interpretation of the classification. Total 486 pairs of wavelets from nine basis functions were tried to remove image noises. The classification accuracies before and after the noise removal were compared. Although all kinds of wavelet pairs showed the increased accuracies in classification, there were best and worst wavelet pairs depending on the data sets. Wavelet pairs with low energy percentage of LL band showed the high classification accuracy. A pattern was found in the results that very similar vertical accuracy was distributed for each horizontal ones. Since Haar is the shortest length filter, Haar could be a predictor wavelet to find the good wavelet pairs.

In this paper, we propose a machine learning method for random noise removal in image deblurring. The proposed method uses a logistic regression to select reliable data to use them, and, at the same time, to exclude data, which seem to be corrupted by random noise, in the deblurring process. The proposed method uses commonly available images as training data. Simulation results show an improved performance of the proposed method, as compared with the median filtering based reliable data selection method.

The ultrasonic images are corrupted by the granular pattern noise - a speckle noise. The speckle exist in the type of coherent imaging systems, and the speckle is the signal independent and multiplicative noise. In this paepr, we derive two filters using the gradient and symmetry. One is a noise suppression filter which removes noise while preserves the edges. It is named the ASRF-GS (Adaptive Speckle Removal Filer - Gradient and Symmetry). And the other is a edge detection filter which obtains the thin edge map, called the EDUGS(Edge Detection Using Gradient and Symmetry). The performance of the proposed noise suppression filter is evaluated by the IMPV(SNR improvement) and the Speckle Index(SI), and the perforamnce of the edge detection is evaluated by the edge detection error rate. According to the evaluated method, The SI reduced about 0.035, The IMPV improved about 1.265(dB), and the edge detection error rate is about 17.5%.

In this paper, the authors showed that the removal of impulse noise in CR images was implemented using variety of median filters and SNR/PSNR measurements. They used three kinds of medical images-hand, skull, and knee- for experimental results. But the noise in CR image was only the impulse noise. In real medical image, the noise of an image would be very different type. Therefore. the lack of experimental results using different noise in CR images is one flaw.

In this study, we organized the test results obtained from the performance tests for the CA certificated air cleaners which had been commercially available in Korea since 2003, and analyzed the correlation among the test parameters such as flow rate, particle collection efficiency, clean air delivery rate (CADR), ozone emission, odor removal efficiency and noise level etc. The noise level of 267 air cleaners were increased as concentrated at the 45, 50, 55 dB, which are the required noise level for CA certification according to flow rate, and ozone emissions from the CA air cleaners were significantly lower than the requirement limit, 50 ppb for 24 hour operation. The average particle collection efficiency and odor removal efficiency were 89.3 and 80.8%, approximately 20% higher than the requirement of CA certification, regardless of flow rates. The particle removal performance of an air cleaner was clearly discriminated by its CADR, and the CADR was obtained with a simple calculation: 0.79 x flow rate. The low differentiation of gas removal performance of air cleaners by the current CA gas test method was improved by 3.2, 751.3, 13.4 times for ammonia, acetic acid, respectively, by adopting the CADR concept and the real time measurement method, FTIR, for gas removal performance test.
