Impulse noise removal in highly corrupted color images
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present in this paper a novel and efficient technique for the restoration of color images which are highly corrupted with impulse noise. This is a detectionestimation based approach in which outliers are first detected using a Teager-like operator followed by a locally adaptive threshold. Center pixels whose “energy” exceeds some threshold are replaced with the local marginal median. Simulation results show the superior performance of the proposed filtering algorithm compared to the renowned vector median (VM [l]) and generalized vector directional filter (GVDF [3]), which are commonly used for color image restoration in the literature. Monte Carlo simulations show the edge preservation and impulse noise attenuation capabilities of the proposed technique. The efficiency of the algorithm stems from its simple arithmetic operations compared with more demanding ones, e.g. computation of distances and angles in the case of VMF and GVDF, respectively.

Removal of Impulse Noise using First Order Neighborhood Mean Filter
Noise removal is one of the most important parts to get original image from highly corrupted image. The image can be corrupted with noise during transmission from noisy channel, sensors or due to some environmental conditions. This makes the image visually unpleasant. Impulsive noise may occur during transmission which highly corrupts the image. In this paper an algorithm is designed to remove ...

This paper presents a vector median filter that incorporates mechanism for the detection of impulses from color images. The vector pixels in a specified window is ranked on the basis of sum of the distances to other vector pixels in the window. The center vector pixel is declared as corrupted if its rank is bigger than a predefined rank and its distance from a nearby healthy vector pixel is big...

This paper deals with impulse noise removal from color images. The proposed noise removal algorithm employs a novel approach with morphological filtering for color image denoising; that is, detection of corrupted pixels and removal of the detected noise by means of morphological filtering. With the help of computer simulation we show that the proposed algorithm can effectively remove impulse no...

متن کاملSpatially Adaptive Algorithm for Impulse Noise Removal from Color Images
An effective method for removal impulse noise in corrupted color images is proposed. The method consists of two steps. Outliers are first detected using spatial relationships between the color image components. Then the detected noise pixels are replaced with the output of the vector median filter over a local spatially connected area excluding the outliers, while noise-free pixels are left una...
