Non-local Mean-shift Filter for the Reduction of Multiplicative Noise in Digital Images
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper a new method for the reduction of multiplicative noise in digital images is described. The proposed algorithm is a modification of the Mean-Shift (MS) filter which is based on the concept of the Non-Local Means (NLM) denoising. The proposed algorithm does not focus on single pixels only, as in the case of the mean-shift technique, but also on their neighborhoods. The performance of the novel approach is experimentally verified and the obtained results prove that the new design is superior both to the MS and NLM techniques.

In this paper, a novel decision based median (DBM) filter for enhancing MR images has been proposed. The method is based on eliminating impulse noise from MR images. A median-based method to remove impulse noise from digital MR images has been developed. Each pixel is leveled from black to white like gray-level. The method is adjusted in order to decide whether the median operation can be appli...

متن کاملShearlet-Based Adaptive Noise Reduction in CT Images
The noise in reconstructed slices of X-ray Computed Tomography (CT) is of unknown distribution, non-stationary, oriented and difficult to distinguish from main structural information. This requires the development of special post-processing methods based on the local statistical evaluation of the noise component. This paper presents an adaptive method of reducing noise in CT images employing th...
