Adaptive Order Statistic Filters

چکیده
Several adaptive order statistic filters (OSF) are developed and compared for channel characterization and noise suppression in images and 3-D CT data. Emphasis has been put on the situation when a noise-free reference image is not available but instead we can have a sequence of two noisy versions of the same image (or a 3-D data slice). One of the noisy images is used as the reference in the OSF. The adaptive updating formula for the filter coefficients is derived. It is shown theoretically that if noises are not correlated, the expected values of the derived filter coefficients will be equal to those coefficients derived using a noise-free reference. Experiments using the noisy reference image yield comparable results to those methods using a noise-free reference image and also better results than those of median, Gaussian, averaging and Wiener filters.

Adaptive Order-statistic Lms Filters
The LMS-based adaptive order-statistic filters are presented in this paper. The adaptive Ll-filters as extension of the adaptive L-filter for two-dimensional filtering of noisy greyscale images is studied too. Their adaptation properties are studied by three types of noise, the additive white Gaussian noise, the impulsive noise or both, respectively. Moreover, the impulsive noise has the fixed ...

متن کاملAffine order statistic filters: a data-adaptive filtering framework for nonstationary signals
We introduce a novel, data-adaptive, and robust ltering framework: a ne order-statistic lters. A ne order-statistics relate classical order-statistics to observations in their natural order and thus inherently yield a meaningful data representation. A ne order-statistic lters exploit this notion to adaptively process nonstationary signals. A ne order-statistic lters overcome many of the limitat...
متن کاملAdaptive Line Enhancement Using a Parallel IIR Filter with A Step-By-step Algorithm
A step-by-step algorithm for enhancement of periodic signals that are highly corrupted by additive uncorrelated white gausian noise is proposed. In each adaptation step a new parallel second-order section is added to the previous filters. Every section has only one adjustable parameter, i.e., the center frequency of the self-tuning filter. The bandwidth and the convergence factor of each secti...
متن کاملFrequency Selective Filtering Using Weighted Order Statistic Admitting Real-valued Weights
In this paper, a weighted order statistic (WOS) filtering structure admitting real-valued weights is introduced. The proposed filtering approach can effectively address a number of signal and image processing applications that require robust bandpass or highpass operations where the underlying contamination follows a nonsymmetric heavy-tailed distribution. The effect of negative weighting in th...
