Recently, modern society has come up with the importance of video processing as various imaging systems have developed. However, deterioration occurs in the process of transmitting, processing, and storing video data for various reasons. Deterioration will damage the original image, and the typical noise is Salt and Pepper noise. There are A-TMF, CWMF, and linear interpolation as the means to eliminate Salt and Pepper noise. However, these methods show somewhat poor noise abatement performance in high-density noise areas. Therefore, this paper proposes an algorithm to eliminate noise using modified linear interpolation. To prove the validity of the proposed algorithm, PSNR, Profile was used to compare it with existing methods.

With progress in information technology, demand for imaging devices such as display devices is increasing. But noise occurs due to various reasons during the process of acquiring, transmitting or processing the image data. Filters used to remove salt and pepper noise include SMF, CWMF and AWMF. In areas where the noise density is high, the removal of noise is undermined. This paper suggests an adjusted median filter algorithm that transforms the noise pixels to more effectively remove salt and pepper noise.

In response to the recent development of IT technologies, there are more demands for visual devices such as display. However, noise is generated in the process of sending video data due to various reasons. Noise is the representative noise which is commonly found. While A-TMF, CWMF, and AMF are the typical ways for removing Salt and Pepper noise, the noise is not removed well in high-density noise environment. To remove the noise in the high-density noise environment, this study suggested an algorithm which identifies whether it's noise or not. If it's not a noise, matches the original pixel. If it's a noise, divide the $3{\times}3$ local mask into the area of the element treated and the area of the element to be processed. Then, algorithm proposes to apply different weights for each element to treat it as an average filter. To analyze the performance of the algorithm, this study compared PSNR to compare the algorithm with other existing methods.

With the development of IoT technology, image processing is being utilized in various fields such as image analysis, image recognition, medical industry, and factory automation. Noise is generated in image data from causes such as defect in transmission line. Image noise must be removed because it damages the performance of the image processing application program. Salt and Pepper noise is a representative type of image noise, and various studies have been conducted to remove Salt and Pepper noise. Widely known methods include A-TMF, AFMF, and SDWF. However, as the noise density increases, the performance deteriorates. Thus, this paper proposes an algorithm that performs filtering using a fuzzy logic weight mask only in case of noise after noise determination. In order to prove the noise removal performance of the proposed algorithm, an experiment was performed on images with 10% to 90% noise added and the PSNR was compared.

Currently, as IoT technology develops, monitoring systems are being used in various fields, and image processing is being used in various forms. Image data causes noise due to various causes during the transmission and reception process, and if it is not removed, loss of image information or error propagation occurs. Therefore, denoising images is essential. Typical methods of eliminating Salt and Pepper noise in images include AF, MF, and A-TMF. However, existing methods have the disadvantage of being somewhat inadequate in high-density noise. Therefore, in this paper, we propose an algorithm for determining noise for Salt and Pepper denoising and replacing the central pixel with an original pixel if it is non-noise, and processing the filtering mask by segmenting and averaging it in eight directions. We evaluate the performance by comparing and analyzing the proposed algorithms with existing methods.

Noise in image processing has a direct effect on the quality of the image, and adversely affects the processing of the system including algorithms such as image segmentation, edge detection, and image recognition. Therefore, noise reduction plays an important role in the preprocessing process. In this paper, we propose an efficient algorithm to remove noise in high density of Salt and Pepper noise. The proposed algorithm removes noise by gradually expanding the filtering mask according to the density of the noise, and shows excellent noise cancellation performance even in a high density region. In order to evaluate the performance of the proposed algorithm, we compared and analyzed the existing method and the proposed algorithm through simulation.

Currently, image processing is being used in various fields such as image analysis, image recognition, and factory automation according to the development of IT technology. Salt and pepper noise is generated due to various external factors in the process of acquiring or transmitting an image, which deteriorates the image quality. Therefore, noise removal to improve image quality is essential. Various methods have been proposed to remove salt and pepper noise, and representative examples include AF, MF, and A-TMF. However, the conventional filter has insufficient noise removal performance in a high-density noise environment. Therefore, in this paper, we propose an algorithm for estimating and processing the original pixel by using the modified distance weight filter only in the case of noise, and replacing the original pixel in case of non-noise after performing noise judgment. To evaluate the performance of the proposed algorithm, we compare and analyze it with existing algorithms using PSNR.

Currently, the demand for image processing is increasing due to the development of IT technology, and active research is being conducted. Since image data generates image noise due to various external causes, and thus degrades the performance of the image, noise removal is essential. Salt and Pepper noise is a representative image noise, and various studies are being conducted to remove it. Existing algorithms include A-TMF, AFMF, LIWF, but these have the disadvantage that their performance is somewhat insufficient. Therefore, in this paper, we propose an algorithm that performs filtering using linear interpolation with effective pixels existing around the central pixel only in case of noise after performing noise judgment in order to efficiently remove salt and pepper noise. In order to judge the performance of the proposed algorithm, it was compared using the processed image of the previously studied algorithm and PSNR.

Recently, the image system is utilized in several fields due to the development of multimedia technology. However, the noise occurs according to various causes in the process of image data processing. The noises added to the image include several types according to the cause and shape, and the salt and pepper noise is one of the typical noise types. Thus, this paper proposed the median filter algorithm using the estimated mask in order to remove the salt and pepper noise effectively and also compared this algorithm with the current methods using PSNR(peak signal to noise ratio) as a criterion of judgment.
