Removal of Impulse Noise using Adaptive Weighted Median Filter

A Switching Weighted Adaptive Median Filter for Impulse Noise Removal

Images are often corrupted by impulse noise due to a noisy sensor or channel transmission errors. The goal of impulse noise removal is to suppress the noise by preserving the integrity of edges and detail information. In this paper, a new filter called Switching Weighted Adaptive Median (SWAM) filter is proposed for effective suppression of impulse noise which is used to incorporate the Recursi...

An adaptive dynamically weighted median filter for impulse noise removal

A new impulsive noise removal filter, adaptive dynamically weighted median filter (ADWMF), is proposed. A popular method for removing impulsive noise is a median filter whereas the weighted median filter and center weighted median filter were also investigated. ADWMF is based on weighted median filter. In ADWMF, instead of fixed weights, weightages of the filter are dynamically assigned with th...

A Switching Weighted Adaptive Median Filter for Impulse Noise Removal

High Density Impulse Noise Removal in Color Images Using Region of Interest Median Controlled Adaptive Recursive Weighted Median Filter

An Adaptive varying window size Recursive Weighted Median Filter [ARWMF] for removing the impulse noise in Color images is presented. The weights for the RWMF are calculated by using the median controlled algorithm. By applying Region of Interest [ROI] on selected windows the weight calculation’s efficiency can be increased and the memory will be reduced because of the ROI. In median controlled...

Removal of Impulse Noise Using Iterative Unsymmetrical Trimmed Median Filter

It is universally accepted that Median filter is the best filter known so far. Based on this fact many variants of median filter were developed to improve the performance of the standard median filter. In this paper a new approach for the restoration of gray scale and color images that are highly corrupted by impulse noise is proposed. The algorithm works on low density noise also. The algorith...
