چکیده

In this paper a novel algorithm for Gaussian noise estimation and removal is proposed by using 3x3 sub windows in which the test pixel appears. The standard deviation(STD) for all sub-windows are used to define reference STD(σref )and minimum(σmin) and maximum (σmax ) standard deviations. The average STD (σavg ) is then calculated as the average of those STDs of all sub-windows whose STD falls with in the range of [σmin, σmax]. This σavg is used for detecting and removing additive Gaussian noise. The performance is compared with that of the standard mean filter. The proposed scheme is outperforming than the standard mean filter.

An Adaptive Hierarchical Method Based on Wavelet and Adaptive Filtering for MRI Denoising

MRI is one of the most powerful techniques to study the internal structure of the body. MRI image quality is affected by various noises. Noises in MRI are usually thermal and mainly due to the motion of charged particles in the coil. Noise in MRI images also cause a limitation in the study of visual images as well as computer analysis of the images. In this paper, first, it is proved that proba...

Biomedical Image Denoising Based on Hybrid Optimization Algorithm and Sequential Filters

Background: Nowadays, image de-noising plays a very important role in medical analysis applications and pre-processing step. Many filters were designed for image processing, assuming a specific noise distribution, so the images which are acquired by different medical imaging modalities must be out of the noise. Objectives: This study has focused on the sequence filters which are selected ...

Salt and Pepper Noise Removal using Pixon-based Segmentation and Adaptive Median Filter

Removing salt and pepper noise is an active research area in image processing. In this paper, a two-phase method is proposed for removing salt and pepper noise while preserving edges and fine details. In the first phase, noise candidate pixels are detected which are likely to be contaminated by noise. In the second phase, only noise candidate pixels are restored using adaptive median filter. In...
