Digital images are often corrupted by impulse noise, and it is very important to remove random-valued impulse noise. Cleaning such noise is far more difficult than cleaning salt and pepper impulse noise. In this paper, we proposed an efficient way to remove random-valued impulse noise from digital images. This novel method comprises two stages. The first stage is to detect the random-valued impulse noise in the image and the pixels are roughly divided into two classes, which are "noise-free pixel" and "noise pixel". Then, the second stage is to eliminate the random-valued impulse noise from the image. In this stage, only the "noise pixels" are processed. The "noise-free pixels" are copied directly to the output image. Simulation results indicated that our method provides a significant improvement over many other existing algorithms.

In this paper the process of transmitting images signal restore to image corrupted by impulse noise proposed switching mean filter. these filter is differential size using the two state noise detection distinguishes noise pixel and noise free pixel. Follow the detected impulse noise density in the image remove the impulse noise using switching mean filter these substituted pixel in order to non-recursive and recursive form from control process of the next pixel comes to be used with neighbor pixel process. Through the simulation, we compared with the existing methods and capabilties.

Wavelet thresholding is a method for he reduction of noise in image. Wavelet coefficients of image are correlated in local characterization. Thee correlations also appear in he original pixel representation of the image, and they do not follow from the characterizations of the wavelet transform. In this paper, we compare noise-free distributions of Bayes approach to improve the classical threshold algorithm.

In impulse noise filtering techniques window size play an important role. Usually, an appropriate window is determined according to the noise density. A small window may not be able to suppress noise properly whereas a large window may remove edges and fine image details. Moreover, the value of the central pixel is estimated by considering all pixels within the window. In this work, contrary to the previous approaches, we propose an iterative impulse noise removal scheme that emphasizes on noise-free pixels within a small neighborhood. The iterative process continues until all noisy pixels are replaced with the estimated pixels. In order to estimate the optimal value for a noisy pixel, a genetic programming (GP) based estimator is evolved that takes few noise-free pixels as input. The estimator is constituent of noise-free pixels, arithmetic operators and random constants. Experimental results show that theproposed scheme is capable of removing impulse noise effectively while preserving the fine image details. Especially, our approach has shown effectiveness against high impulse noise density.

Noise is a serious issue. While sending images via electronic communication, Impulse noise, which is created by unsteady voltage, is one of the most common noises in digital communication. During the acquisition process, pictures were collected. It is possible to obtain accurate diagnosis images by removing these noises without affecting the edges and tiny features. The New Average High Noise Density Median Filter. (HNDMF) was proposed in this paper, and it operates in two steps for each pixel. Filter can decide whether the test pixels is degraded by SPN. In the first stage, a detector identifies corrupted pixels, in the second stage, an algorithm replaced by noise free processed pixel, the New average suggested Filter produced for this window. The paper examines the performance of Gaussian Filter (GF), Adaptive Median Filter (AMF), and PHDNF. In this paper the comparison of known image denoising is discussed and a new decision based weighted median filter used to remove impulse noise. Using Mean Square Error (MSE), Peak Signal to Noise Ratio (PSNR), and Structure Similarity Index Method (SSIM) metrics, the paper examines the performance of Gaussian Filter (GF), Adaptive Median Filter (AMF), and PHDNF. A detailed simulation process is performed to ensure the betterment of the presented model on the Mini-MIAS dataset. The obtained experimental values stated that the HNDMF model has reached to a better performance with the maximum picture quality. images affected by various amounts of pretend salt and paper noise, as well as speckle noise, are calculated and provided as experimental results. According to quality metrics, the HNDMF Method produces a superior result than the existing filter method. Accurately detect and replace salt and pepper noise pixel values with mean and median value in images. The proposed method is to improve the median filter with a significant change.

Lee(2007) suggested the Point-Jacobian iteration MAP estimation(PJIMAP) for noise removal of the images that are corrupted by multiplicative speckle noise. It is to find a MAP estimation of noisy-free imagery based on a Bayesian model using the lognormal distribution for image intensity and an MRF for image texture. When the image intensity is logarithmically transformed, the speckle noise is approximately Gaussian additive noise, and it tends to a normal probability much faster than the intensity distribution. The MRF is incorporated into digital image analysis by viewing pixel types as states of molecules in a lattice-like physical system. In this study, the MAP estimation is computed by the Point-Jacobian iteration using adaptive parameters. At each iteration, the parameters related to the Bayesian model are adaptively estimated using the updated information. The results of the proposed scheme were compared to them of PJIMAP with SAR simulation data generated by the Monte Carlo method. The experiments demonstrated an improvement in relaxing speckle noise and estimating noise-free intensity by using the adaptive parameters for the Ponit-Jacobian iteration.

Recently, as industrial society is developed as high digital information age, image processing is used in a variety of areas. However, image deterioration is still occurred by several noises in the data processing, and different kinds of researches are in progress for noise removal. Therefore, this paper limited the modified median filter by using standard deviation to removes impulse noise. The proposed algorithms divided into noise detection and noise removal, the noise free pixel is maintained, the noise pixel filtered. And it was compared with the existing methods for its objective judgment, using PSNR(peak signal to noise ratio) as standard criteria.

Penalized-likelihood (PL) reconstruction methods for transmission tomography are known to provide improved image quality for reduced dose level by efficiently smoothing out noise while preserving edges. Unfortunately, however, most of the edge-preserving penalty functions used in conventional PL methods contain at least one free parameter which controls the shape of a non-quadratic penalty function to adjust the sensitivity of edge preservation. In this work, to avoid difficulties in finding a proper value of the free parameter involved in a non-quadratic penalty function, we propose a new adaptive method of space-variant smoothing with a simple quadratic penalty function. In this method, the smoothing parameter is adaptively selected for each pixel location at each iteration by using the image roughness measured by a pixel-wise standard deviation image calculated from the previous iteration. The experimental results demonstrate that our new method not only preserves edges, but also suppresses noise well in monotonic regions without requiring additional processes to select free parameters that may otherwise be included in a non-quadratic penalty function.

In this paper, a noise-tolerant generalized symmetry transform(NTGST) is proposed and implemented as a context-free attention operator for efficient detection of multi-object. In contrast to the conventional context-free attention operator based on the GST in which only the magnitude and the symmetry of the pixel pairs are taken into account, the proposed NTGST additionally takes into account the convergence and the divergence of the radial orientation of the intensity gradient of the pixel pair. Thus, the proposed attention operator can easily detect multiple objects out of the noisy and complex backgrounded image. Experiments are conducted on various synthetic and real images, and the proposed NTGST is proved to be effective in multi-object detection from the noisy and complex backgrounds.

We use statistical tests which are useful for two-sample problem for detecting edges in gray-level images. An edge is detected by examining changes in gray-level value between adjacent pixel neighborhoods. Some experimental results show that nonparametric detectors such as Mann-Whitney test median test and Kolmogorov-Smirnov test perform effectively in both noisy and noise-free images while parametric T test is sensitive to noise.
