In this paper, we propose a method of edge detection for noisy image. The proposed method uses a progressive filter for noise reduction and a Sobel operator for edge detection. The progressive filter combines a median filter and a modified rational filter. The proposed method for noise reduction adjusts rational filter direction according to an edge in the image which is obtained by median filtering. Our method effectively attenuates the noise while preserving the image details. Edge detection is performed by a Sobel operator. This operator can be implemented by integer operation and is therefore relatively fast. Our proposed method not only preserves edge, but also reduces noise in uniform region. Thus, edge detection is well performed. Our proposed method could improve results using further developed Sobel operator. Experimental results show that our proposed method has better edge detection with correct positions than those by existing median and rational filtering methods for noisy image.

본 논문은 스테고 잡음의 분산을 확대함으로써 비밀 메시지의 존재를 감지하기 위한 개선된 스테그분석 방법을 제안한다. 먼저 주어진 영상에 스펙클 잡음을 곱하여 작은 스테고 잡음을 확대하고 소프트 임계치 방법에 의해 잡음이 제거된 영상을 추정한다. 스테고 잡음과 스펙클 잡음은 완전히 제거되지 않으므로 추정된 영상에는 잡음이 일부 존재하게 된다. 만약 주어진 영상이 커버 영상이라면, 잔존하는 잡음은 매우 적을 것이고, 스테고 영상이라면 상대적으로 큰 잡음을 가지게 될 것이다. 이때 스테고 영상의 경우 잡음의 영향으로 웨이블릿 영역에서 부모-자식 부대역의 통계적 의존성에 손상이 발생하게 된다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 이러한 특성을 이용하여 주어진 영상과 잡음이 제거된 영상의 차이로부터 조인트 통계 모멘트를 추출한다. 아울러 잡음이 제거된 영상에 대하여 4개의 통계적 모멘트를 추출하여 제안된 스테그분석에 사용한다. 추출된 특징 벡터는 MLP 분류기로 입력되어 학습된다. 제안 방법의 성능을 평가하기 위해 다양한 비트율의 임베딩 방법을 사용하였으며, 실험 결과 제안 기법은 기존의 방법에 비해 검출율과 정확도 측면에서 우수함을 확인할 수 있었다.

A Gaussian noise is caused by surrounding environment or channel interference when transmitting image. The noise reduces not only image quality degradation but also high-level image processing performance. The Non-Local Means (NLM) filter finds similarity in the neighboring sets of pixels to remove noise and assigns weights according to similarity. The weighted average is calculated based on the weight. The NLM filter method shows low noise cancellation performance and high complexity in the process of finding the similarity using weight allocation and neighbor set. In order to solve these problems, we propose an algorithm that shows an excellent noise reduction performance by using Summed Square Image (SSI) to reduce the complexity and applying the weighting function based on a cosine Gaussian kernel function. Experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.

A Q-band pHEMT image-rejection low-noise amplifier (IR-LNA) is presented using inter-stage tunable resonators. The inter-stage L-C resonators can maximize an image rejection by functioning as inter-stage matching circuits at an operating frequency ($F_{OP}$) and short circuits at an image frequency ($F_{IM}$). In addition, it also brings more wideband image rejection than conventional notch filters. Moreover, tunable varactors in L-C resonators not only compensate for the mismatch of an image frequency induced by the process variation or model error but can also change the image frequency according to a required RF frequency. The implemented pHEMT IR-LNA shows 54.3 dB maximum image rejection ratio (IRR). By changing the varactor bias, the image frequency shifts from 27 GHz to 37 GHz with over 40 dB IRR, a 19.1 dB to 17.6 dB peak gain, and 3.2 dB to 4.3 dB noise figure. To the best of the authors' knowledge, it shows the highest IRR and $F_{IM}/F_{OP}$ of the reported millimeter/quasi-millimeter wave IR-LNAs.

This paper describes 3-dimensional volume array of 4 microphones including a reference microphone which is capable of imaging wideband noise source position in 2-dimensional image plane. The cross correlation function and corresponding imaging function between a reference microphone and other microphone, are derived as a function of noise source position. The magnitude of the imaging function gives noise source mapping in image plane. Since the image plane is selective from a rectangular and a cylindrical plane, noise source position information such as range and bearing relative to the array is identified very much easily. Simulation results for typical source configurations confirms the applicability of the proposed array in noise control field.

The image noise improvement algorithm proposed in this paper extracts the boundary line by using the window of the binarized image to detect the gesture motion. Boundary line blurring is prevented by improving Gaussian noise generated during video output. To improve gesture recognition in low-light environments, an image noise enhancement algorithm has been designed to provide an output image close to the base image. Analyzing the experimental results, we found almost 10% improvement in the results compared to the results of the existing Median filter.

LCD의 동화상 퍼짐(blur) 노이즈를 측정하고 그 특성을 평가하였다. 실험결과, 퍼짐 노이즈는 시선이 동화상을 추적하면서 이동할 경우에 발생하며 시선이 고정되어 있을 경우에는 발생하지 않았다. 그리고 화상 퍼짐에 의한 계조 감소는 선형적이며 속도 의존성이 있었다. 이 실험결과를 근거로 한 퍼짐 노이즈 시뮬레이터를 개발하고 퍼짐 노이즈를 시뮬레이션 한 결과, 화상의 이동속도가 빠를수록 퍼짐 노이즈가 증가하였으며 이것은 측정결과와도 일치하였다. 백라이트 점등비 제어에 의한 퍼짐 노이즈 특성을 시뮬레이션 한 결과, 점등비가 낮을수록 노이즈가 저감되나 백라이트의 점등 타이밍이 2개의 인접한 프레임에 걸쳐서 있으면 오히려 노이즈가 심해졌다. 또한 프레임을 120[Hz]로 배속시켜 구동하는 경우에는 기존의 두 화상 사이에 새로운 화상이 생김으로써 얻는 화상 이동속도의 감소가 퍼짐 노이즈를 저감시켰다.

Numerous spatial and transform-domain-based conventional denoising algorithms struggle to keep critical and minute structural features of the image, especially at high noise levels. Although neural network approaches are effective, they are not always reliable since they demand a large quantity of training data, are computationally complicated, and take a long time to construct the model. A new framework of enhanced hybrid filtering is developed for denoising color images tainted by additive white Gaussian Noise with the goal of reducing algorithmic complexity and improving performance. In the first stage of the proposed approach, the noisy image is refined using a high-dimensional non-local means filter based on Principal Component Analysis, followed by the extraction of the method noise. The wavelet transform and SURE Shrink techniques are used to further culture this method noise. The final denoised image is created by combining the results of these two steps. Experiments were carried out on a set of standard color images corrupted by Gaussian noise with multiple standard deviations. Comparative analysis of empirical outcome indicates that the proposed method outperforms leading-edge denoising strategies in terms of consistency and performance while maintaining the visual quality. This algorithm ensures homogeneous noise reduction, which is almost independent of noise variations. The power of both the spatial and transform domains is harnessed in this multi realm consolidation technique. Rather than processing individual colors, it works directly on the multispectral image. Uses minimal resources and produces superior quality output in the optimal execution time.

이미지 프로세싱에서 잡음은 영상의 품질에 직접적인 영향을 미치는 요소이며, 특히 영상 분할, 에지 검출, 영상 인식과 같은 알고리즘을 포함하는 시스템의 처리과정에 악영향을 미친다. 따라서 전처리 과정으로 잡음 제거가 중요한 역할을 하고 있으며, 이를 위해 다양한 기법들이 제시되었다. 본 논문에서는 Salt and Pepper 잡음의 밀도가 높은 환경에서 효율적으로 잡음을 제거하기 위한 알고리즘을 제안하였다. 제안한 알고리즘은 잡음의 밀도에 따라 필터링 마스크를 단계적인 확장하여 잡음을 제거하였으며, 밀도가 높은 영역에서도 우수한 잡음 제거 성능을 보였다. 제안한 알고리즘의 성능 평가를 위해 시뮬레이션을 통해 기존 방법과 제안한 알고리즘을 비교 분석하였다.

We evaluated the performance of an improved hybrid median filter (IHMF) applied to X-ray computed tomography (CT) images obtained using a high-resolution photon-counting cadmium zinc telluride (CZT) detector. To study how the proposed approach improves the image quality, we measured the noise levels and the overall CT-image quality. We established a CZT imaging system with a detector length of 5.12 cm and thickness of 0.3 cm and acquired phantom images. To evaluate the efficacy of the proposed filter, we first modeled two conventional median filters. Subsequently, we were able to achieve a normalized noise power spectrum result of ~10^-8 mm², and furthermore, the proposed method improved the contrast-to-noise ratio by a factor of ~1.51 and the coefficient of variation by 1.55 relative to the counterpart values of the no-filter image. In addition, the IHMF exhibited the best performance among the three filters considered as regards the peak signal-to-noise ratio and no-reference-based image-quality evaluation parameters. Thus, our results demonstrate that the IHMF approach provides a superior image performance over conventional median filtering methods when applied to actual CZT X-ray CT images.
