Adapted Non-Local Means Filter using Variable Window Size
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, a novel improvement idea in image restoration by Non-Local means (NL-means) filter is proposed. Most of special image denoising techniques require a region size called neighborhood window for denoising, window-size selection is usually done by visual inspection based upon experience or hit and trial. It is shown in this paper that varying the window-size for each pixel according to window variance obtains better results. Also, an investigation on choosing the optimum filtering parameter for each window size is presented. Tests on standard images are carried out and presented. The results show that the performance is very close and in some cases even surpasses state-of-art denoising techniques.

Dynamic Adaptive Median Filter (DAMF) for Removal of High Density Impulse Noise
This paper proposes a novel adaptive filtering scheme to remove impulse noise from images. The scheme replaces the corrupted test pixel with the median value of non-corrupted neighboring pixels selected from a window dynamically. If the number of non-corrupted pixels in the selected window is not sufficient, a window of next higher size is chosen. Thus window size is automatically adapted based...
متن کاملRobust non-local means filter for ultrasound image denoising
This paper introduces a new approach to non-local means image denoising. Instead of using all pixels located in the search window for estimating the value of a pixel, we identify the highly corrupted pixels and assign less weight to these pixels. This method is called robust non-local means. Numerical and subjective evaluations using ultrasound images show good performances of the proposed deno...
متن کاملAnalysis of Non Linear Filters with Various Density of Impulse Noise for Different Window Size
Corrupted digital images are recovered by using median filters. The most frequently occur noise is salt and pepper type impulse noise. As the noise increases it becomes hard to recover the noisy digital image. Different median filters have been suggested to recover it. Size of the window taken in the filter is also the important factor at different level of noises. The performance of standard m...
متن کاملVariable Window Gabor Filters
There are two basic problems concerned with Gabor lterings we will address in this paper. One is the window size problem, in which we will adopt a set of 2D variable window Gabor lters, and compare its performance with those of xed window lters. We will show that the variable window scheme is more adaptive to image contents. The other problem we will address is the stability of amplitude and ph...
متن کاملAn Efficient Additive White Median Filtering for Removal of Salt and Pepper Noise based on Images
Several researchers are concentrated on cancellation of salt and pepper noise from the two-dimensional signals like digital images and uses several filters like mean filter, median filter, trimmed median filter etc. , for removal of noise. A novel approach has been implemented using a filter so called Additive White Median Filter (AWMF) for filtering the two-dimensional signal which uses a sche...
