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...

Attenuating the noises plays an essential role in the image processing. Almost all the traditional median filters concern the removal of impulse noise having a single layer, whose noise gray level value is constant. In this paper, a new adaptive median filter is proposed to handle those images corrupted not only by single layer noise. The adaptive threshold median filter (ATMF) has been develop...

A picture is worth a thousand words. Trillions of digital images are used for different purposes in real life every day. Noise can corrupt the images in different ways which results in loss of information. Salt & Pepper is a form of noise which occurs randomly in an image as white and black pixels. Traditionally, median filter is used to remove this kind of noise but it introduces blurring in i...

This paper proposes a new technique based on nonlinear Adaptive Median filter (AMF) for image restoration. Image denoising is a common procedure in digital image processing aiming at the removal of noise, which may corrupt an image during its acquisition or transmission, while retaining its quality. This procedure is traditionally performed in the spatial or frequency domain by filtering. The a...

In this paper presents a new algorithm fuzzy based median filter (FBMF) to remove low and high density salt and pepper noise in gray scale Images. Proposed algorithm replaces the noisy pixel by median value when 0’s, 255’s and other pixel values are present in the selected window and when all pixel values are either 0’s or 255’s, or combination of these, then the noise pixel is replaced by fuzz...

Images are often corrupted by impulse noise due to a noisy sensor or channel transmission errors. The goal of impulse noise removal is to suppress the noise by preserving the integrity of edges and detail information. In this paper, a new filter called Switching Weighted Adaptive Median (SWAM) filter is proposed for effective suppression of impulse noise which is used to incorporate the Recursi...

In the Transmission of images over channels, Images are corrupted by salt and pepper noise, due to faulty communications. Salt and Pepper noise is also referred to as Impulse noise. The objective of filtering is to remove the impulses so that the noise free image is fully recovered with minimum signal distortion. The best-known and most widely used nonlinear digital filters, based on order stat...

An advanced non-linear cascading filter algorithm for the removal of high density salt and pepper noise from the digital images is proposed. The proposed method consists of two stages. The first stage Decision base Median Filter (DMF) acts as the preliminary noise removal algorithm. The second stage is either Modified Decision Base Partial Trimmed Global Mean Filter (MDBPTGMF) or Modified Decis...

periodic noises are unwished and spurious signals that create repetitive pattern on images and decreased the visual quality. firstly, this paper investigates various methods for reducing the effects of the periodic noise in digital images. then an adaptive optimum notch filter is proposed. in the proposed method, the regions of noise frequencies are determined by analyzing the spectral of noisy...

Nowadays Medical imaging technique Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) plays an important role in medical setting to form high standard images contained in the human brain. MRI is commonly used once treating brain, prostate cancers, ankle and foot. The Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) images are usually liable to suffer from noises such as Gaussian noise, salt and pepper noise and speckle noise. S...
