Soft-partition-based weighted sum filters for image enhancement
نویسندگان
چکیده
Images are nonstationary in nature. Hard-Partition-Based Weighted Sum (HWS) filters give good results in handling both flat regions and details in application such as image enhancement. But due to their non-differentialable filtering operation, their global optimization is difficult to achieve. In this paper, we introduced a new type of Soft-PartitionBased Weighted Sum (SWS) filters, whose filter operations are differentiable, allowing a Steepest Decent adaptive optimization to be applied. It is shown that SWS filters provide better performance than HWS filters in an image enhancement application. SWS filters are, therefore, an effective class of nonlinear filters for image enhancement.

Partition-based weighted sum filters for image restoration
In this work, we develop the concept of partitioning the observation space to build a general class of filters referred to as partition-based weighted sum (PWS) filters. In the general framework, each observation vector is mapped to one of M partitions comprising the observation space, and each partition has an associated filtering function. We focus on partitioning the observation space utiliz...
متن کاملSpeckle Noise Reduction for the Enhancement of Retinal Layers in Optical Coherence Tomography Images
Introduction One of the most important pre-processing steps in optical coherence tomography (OCT) is reducing speckle noise, resulting from multiple scattering of tissues, which degrades the quality of OCT images. Materials and Methods The present study focused on speckle noise reduction and edge detection techniques. Statistical filters with different masks and noise variances were applied on ...
متن کاملA New Iterative Fuzzy-Based Method for Image Enhancement (RESEARCH NOTE)
This paper presents a new filtering approach based on fuzzy-logic which has high performance in mixed noise environments. This filter is mainly based on the idea that each pixel is not allowed to be uniformly fired by each of the fuzzy rules. In the proposed filtering algorithm, the rule membership functions are tuned iteratively in order to preserve the image edges. Several test experiments we...
