Multi-stage Directional Median Filter
نویسندگان
چکیده
Median filter is widely used to remove impulse noise without blurring sharp edges. However, when noise level increased, or with thin edges, median filter may work poorly. This paper proposes a new filter, which will detect edges along four possible directions, and then replace noise corrupted pixel with estimated noise-free edge median value. Simulations show that the proposed multi-stage directional median filter can provide excellent performance of suppressing impulse noise in all situations. Keywords—Impulse noise, Median filter, Multi-stage, Edgepreserving

Color Image Denoising Using Decision Based Vector Median Filter
A new Decision based algorithm for impulse identification in color images is proposed. In vector median filter all the pixels are processed irrespective of whether it is corrupted or uncorrupted. The proposed algorithm overcomes this drawback where Vector Median is calculated only if the processing pixel is corrupted. This in turn reduces the computation time. The proposed algorithm gives bette...
متن کاملDirectional Adaptive Multilevel Median Filter for Salt–and-Pepper Noise Reduction
This paper presents a novel two-stage adaptive noise reduction scheme for images corrupted by salt and pepper noise. The first stage identifies the impulse noise in the image by classifying the pixels into two classesthe 'noise-free pixels' and the 'noise corrupted pixels', based on the intensity values of the pixels. The second stage aims to reduce the impulse noise from th...
متن کاملMulti-directional and multi-scale perturbation approaches for blind forensic median filtering detection
The forensic detection of median filtering has recently attracted the attention of the research community, mainly because of the median filtering potential uses for tampering and concealing image tampering traces in digital images. In this paper, we propose multi-scale and multi-perturbation solutions that build a highly discriminative feature space, which highlights the artifacts of median fil...
متن کاملA New Class of Multichannel Image Processing Filters: Vector Median-Rational Hybrid Filters
A new class of nonlinear filters called Vector Median Rational Hybrid Filters (VMRHF) for multispectral image processing is introduced and applied to color image filtering problems. These filters are based on Rational Functions (RF). The VMRHF filter is a two-stage filter, which exploits the features of the vector median filter and those of the rational operator. The filter output is a result o...
متن کاملSalt 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...
