Vector Median Filter for Removal of Impulse Noise from Color Images
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 bigger than a pre-defined threshold. The corrupted vector pixel is replaced by the vector median. The experimental results show the better performance of the proposed method than a number of existing schemes for color images corrupted by high percentage of fixed-valued and random-valued impulse noises.

Improved Adaptive Median Filter Algorithm for Removing Impulse Noise from Grayscale Images
Digital image is often degraded by many kinds of noise during the process of acquisition and transmission. To make subsequent processing more convenient, it is necessary to decrease the effect of noise. There are many kinds of noises in image, which mainly include salt and pepper noise and Gaussian noise. This paper focuses on median filters to remove the salt and pepper noise. After summarizin...
متن کاملAn Enhanced Median Filter for Removing Noise from MR Images
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 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...
متن کاملRandom-valued Impulse Noise Reduction in Color Image by Using Switching Vector Median Filter with MST-based Noise Detector
This paper describes the noise reduction performance of a switching vector median filter with a random-valued impulse noise detector for color images. As a random-valued impulse noise detector, a minimum spanning tree (MST)-based method is employed. In the switching vector median filter, the impulse noise detector is employed before filtering, and the detection result is used to judge whether a...
