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.

In the transmitting process of image processing system, images always be corrupted by impulse noise, especially random-valued impulse noise. So removing the random-valued impulse noise is very important, but it is also one of the most difficult case in image processing. The most famous method is the standard median filter, but at edge, the filter has a special feature which has a tendency to decrease the preserve. As a result, we proposed a filter that detection random-valued impulse noise firstly, next to use efficient method to remove the noise and preserve the details. And through the simulation, we compared with the algorithms and indicated that proposed method significant improvement over many other existing algorithms.

In this paper, variable windowing mean filter to remove speckle noise and a measure to detect thin edge in ultrasonic images are proposed. Because ultrasonic images are corrupted by speckle noise showing a granular appearance, good edge detection is difficult. As a result, noise removing filter is needed in preprocessing stage. The speckle noise removing filter is based on mean filter whose window size is changed by the ratio of standard deviation to mean for image signal and noise signal in local area. And the measure expressed the difference of means between tow windows is used for detecting thin edge in filtered image. Results show that variable windowing mean filter removes speckle noise effectively, and proposed measure is useful in detecting thin edge.

The impulse noise is very common and typical noise in the digital image. Many methods are invented in order to remove the impulse noise since the development of Digital Image Processing. For example, the median filter has been used for removing the impulse noise. In this paper, we try to remove the impulse noise using wavelet transformation in the wavelet-transformed detail areas. We also compare the algorithm with median filter with the visual and numerical methods. The result using the algorithm in this paper was much better than the median filter in both removing the noise and keeping the edges. The proposed algorithm needs more calculating time but has more advantages than the median filter has.

Recently, various display products are being applied to automobiles. In the process of acquiring an image from a display product, a large amount of additive white Gaussian noise(AWGN) is generated. Generally known denoising techniques focus on removing noise, so detailed components including image information are proportionally lost in the process of removing noise. The algorithm proposed in this paper proposes a method to effectively remove noise while preserving the detail of image information.

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.

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.

Though median filter is used for removing noise and smoothing image. But, the result of it has distortion around edge. And then, this paper proposes new noise removing algorithm by recursive morphological processing. Basic operation is same each other, but there is some different processing method between recursive morphology and general morphology theory. This recursive morphological filter can be viewed as the weighted order static filter, and then it has a weighted SE(structuring element). Especially using this algorithm to remove the 10% gaussian noise, this paper confirmed that PSNR is improved about 0.642~1.5757 db reserving edge well better than the results of the traditional median filter.

사회가 고도의 디지털 정보화 시대로 급속히 발전함에 따라 영상 및 음성 데이터 획득, 전송, 저장을 위한 멀티미디어 통신 서비스가 상용화 되어가고 있다. 그러나 여전히 데이터를 처리하는 과정에서 다양한 잡음에 의해 영상의 열화가 발생하고 있으며 이러한 잡음제거에 관한 연구는 지금까지 계속되고 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 임펄스 잡음을 제거하기 위해, 잡음 신호의 판단과 제거 등 두 과정으로 구성된 변형된 적응 스위칭 메디안 필터를 제안하였다. 제안한 알고리즘은 잡음 신호만을 제거하고 비잡음 신호는 그대로 보존하여, 우수한 에지 보존특성 및 잡음제거 능력을 나타내었다. 그리고 개선 효과의 판단 기준으로 PSNR(peak signal to noise ratio)을 사용하였으며, 객관적인 판단을 위해 기존의 방법들과 비교하였다.

This paper presents an algorithm for removing high-density impulsive noise that generates some serious distortions in edge regions of an image. Although many works have been presented to reduce edge distortions, these existing methods cannot sufficiently restore distorted edges in images with large amounts of impulsive noise. To solve this problem, this paper proposes a method using connected lines extracted from a binarized image, which segments an image into uniform and edge regions. For uniform regions, the existing simple adaptive median filter is applied to remove impulsive noise, and, for edge regions, a prediction filter and a line-weighted median filter using the connected lines are proposed. Simulation results show that the proposed method provides much better performance in restoring distorted edges than existing methods provide. When noise content is more than 20 percent, existing algorithms result in severe edge distortions, while the proposed algorithm can reconstruct edge regions similar to those of the original image.
